China sees India as a partner: Chinese Envoy

TIL Desk/World/Beijing/ Chinese Ambassador to India, Sun Weidong termed the Galwan clash, which claimed lives of 20 Indian soldiers, as ‘unfortunate incident’ saying it is “brief moment from the perspective of history.”

“Not long ago, an unfortunate incident happened in the border areas that neither China nor India would like to see. Now we are working to handle it properly. It is a brief moment from the perspective of history,” the Chinese Ambassador said while speaking at China-India youth webinar.

Weidong said since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and India 70 years ago, bilateral relations have withstood tests and become more resilient. “It should not be disturbed by one thing at a time.
