Welcoming Jaishankar at Zhongnanhai, Mr. Yang said despite differences, relations between the two sides had positive growth last year. During the meeting, they expressed strong commitment to further develop positive relations.

Jaishankar is expected to meet Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, besides attending an upgraded strategic dialogue with China’s Executive Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui.

Yang praised Jaishankar's contribution to the bilateral ties as Indian ambassador to China from 2009 to 2013, and said the two countries had good communication at many levels and continued good cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, culture and people-to-people exchanges.

Mr. Yang Jiechie added that India-China relations have seen "positive growth" in 2016, with President Pranab Mukherjee visiting China and Prime Minister Modi holding three meetings with President Xi Jinping./.
