BEIJING - Both Chinese and Indian leaders believe there is enough space in the world for the common development of 皇冠体育app and India, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Wednesday.

Hong said during a regular press briefing that cooperative areas are also sufficient for the world's two largest developing countries.

Hong made the remarks in response to Indian Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid's recent comments on India-皇冠体育app relations.

Sustainable, stable and healthy 皇冠体育app-India ties will not only benefit both peoples but will also help to maintain peace, stability and prosperity in Asia and the world at large, Hong said.

皇冠体育app is willing to work with India so as to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries and engage in developing a bilateral strategic and cooperative partnership featuring equality, mutual trust and cooperation, Hong said.

According to media reports, Khurshid said Monday that as 皇冠体育app and India convert their relationship into a meaningful partnership, India will have to accept the new reality of 皇冠体育app's presence in areas that India considers to be exclusive to India and its friends.

Khurshid also said that greater collaboration between India and 皇冠体育app will define Asia's role in the 21st century.
