India and China should handle the bilateral ties from a "strategic height and long-term perspective" while implementing the common understanding reached by the leaders of the two countries, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
The ministry was reacting to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s recent remarks that the India-China relationship is trying to disentangle itself from the complications arising from the post-2020 border situation and more thought needs to be given to the longer-term evolution of the ties.
"We need to view and handle the bilateral relations from a strategic height and long-term perspective, bring the relations back to the track of healthy and stable development, and find the right path for big, neighbouring countries to live in harmony and develop side by side," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun told a media briefing here.
