China congratulates alliance on win

China extended its congratulations on Wednesday to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's alliance for its victory in the country's general elections.

India's ruling National Democratic Alliance, led by Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, secured the majority of seats in the Lok Sabha, or lower house of the Indian Parliament.

A sound and stable China-India relationship serves the common interests of both countries and is conducive to regional and global peace and development, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a daily news conference.

Beijing is ready to work with New Delhi to push for the steady development of bilateral ties based on the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples, Mao said.
