Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged to boost the strategic and cooperative partnership between China and India.

He made the remarks during talks with his visiting Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday in Beijing.

President Xi said the two sides should stick to the theme of neighborly friendship and reciprocal cooperation, in a bid to cement the China-Indian relationship and benefit the peoples of both countries.

"We are willing to work with the Indian side to carry forward the tradition of mutual learning of civilization between the two nations, enhance the bilateral comprehensive cooperation, so as to push the China-Indian strategic partnership to a new level, promote the common development between both sides, and make greater contributions to regional and world peace and prosperity."

The Chinese President said that the two nations should consolidate political trust and appropriately address their differences.

He also suggested the two sides support each other in regional and global affairs and urged joint efforts on their development strategies.

For his part, Mukherjee said the bilateral cooperation between the two sides can benefit the people of the two countries and the whole of humanity.

"India and China are two large growing economies and major powers on the world stage. We represent over 40 percent of humanity. Our relations transcend the bilateral meetings and have strategic significance. If we come together, we can generate tremendous momentum for peace, prosperity and development."

He added that his country stands ready to expand trade and investment cooperation with China, as well as enhance people-to-people exchanges and communications.

The Indian President is making a 4-day state visit to China, which has already taken him to Guangzhou, capital city of south China's Guangdong Province.
