PRESIDENT 2
Rao also said that on the UNSC issue the response by
China was neither "guarded nor diplomatic".
There was a very positive "tone and tenor" in these
meetings, and this is a very positive statement, she said.
She said while agreeing that there should be greater
representation for developing countries in the UN, China said
"the two governments should strengthen their cooperation on UN
matters which will include (Security Council's) reform".
Patil also took up the issue of trade imbalance in
India-China trade ties with the Chinese leadership.
In 2009, India-China bilateral trade touched USD 43.3
billion. While Indian exports to China amounted to USD 13.7
billion, the country imported Chinese goods worth USD 29.57
billion, indicating an adverse trade imbalance.
The President sought access for Indian pharmaceuticals
companies, engineering goods and IT-enabled services to the
huge Chinese market.
During the talks, she also pressed for lean season
data of Brahmaputra river from the Chinese side. Currently,
China supplies only flood season data of the Brahmaputra river
to India.
The two sides also signed three pacts that included
streamlining of the visa application and visa formalities for
the airlines staff of the two countries, cooperation in the
field of civil services, personnel management and public
administration and cooperation in the field of sports.
Under the visa streamlining agreement, the airline
staff of the two countries can enjoy visa-free travel thereby
enabling more flights, more contacts between the two
countries, Rao said.
The cooperation in the civil services and other areas
will include exchanging visits and organising lectures, while
the pact in the field of sports will enable transfer of
expertise in physical education and exchange of coaches.
Patil, who arrived here Wednesday on a six-day visit
to China, was welcomed warmly by Wen at the Purple Light
Pavilion.
The President also discussed bilateral issues,
particularly trade and commerce between the two countries with
the Chinese leaders and mechanism set up by the two countries
to address border issue. (MORE) PTI
