Visiting Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said today that his country was willing to provide ‘facilitation for more Indian products to access the Chinese market’ in order to narrow bilateral trade deficit.

Addressing business leaders at an event organized by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) in New Delhi, the Chinese leader said that both the countries had the ability to mitigate the trade imbalance. He further said that China never had the intention to seek trade surplus.

The visiting leader said that both the countries had far more common interests than differences and if India and China could achieve common development, it would be a blessing for Asia and the world.

He further said that a peaceful and stable South Asia was consistent with China’s development interests.
