Li's maiden foreign tour features trust, sincerity, benefit, progress

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has concluded visits to India, Pakistan, Switzerland and Germany in his maiden foreign tour featuring trust, sincerity, benefit and progress.

In India, the first stop, Li's visit helped build mutual trust between the two neighboring countries.

As major developing countries and important emerging markets on the world stage, China and India are natural partners in reshaping global rules.

"There are far more shared interests between China and India than the differences that we have," Li said during his stay in New Delhi. Echoing Li's view, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said India and China were partners, not opponents.

The Chinese premier's visit to India has revealed China's sincere and practical attitude toward its ties with India, enhanced strategic and political trust between the world's two largest developing nations and dispelled some of the misgivings that have long haunted the two.
