China today welcomed as "positive" India's willingness to deal with differences with Beijing on the basis of mutual respect and sensitivity to each other's interests. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang's remarks came after India said it was willing to work with China to develop relations based on commonalities, while dealing with differences on the basis of mutual respect and sensitivity to each other's interests. "We have noted such positive remarks by the Indian side," Lu told a media briefing here answering a question on India's response to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's recent comments on bilateral ties. He said Wang elaborated on China's basic position on its relations with India. "The Chinese dragon and Indian elephant must not fight each other but dance together," he had said.
