Sino-Indian ties cemented

The consensus was reached by Premier Wen Jiabao and visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after a two-hour meeting.

Wen said the joint statement issued Monday sends positive signals to the world that China and India trust and support each other for mutual progress and the establishment of a harmonious world.

Declaring that Sino-Indian relations were of "regional and global significance", Singh said he and Wen had agreed to deepen "mutual understanding and trust between armed forces".

"We welcomed the successful conclusion of our first joint military training exercise (in Kunming last month), and agreed to hold a second exercise in India this year," said Singh
