Beijing, Sept 4 (Reuters): Chinese President Xi Jinping told Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday that the two countries should respect each other's concerns and constructively handle their differences. ”China is willing to work hard with India the maintain the hard-won good position of Sino-India relations,” Xi added. India says China occupies 38,000sqkm of its territory on the Aksai Chin plateau in the west. Modi arrived in China from Vietnam, which is involved in its own dispute with China over the South China Sea, where he offered Vietnam a credit line of half a billion dollars for defence cooperation. Modi's government has ordered BrahMos Aerospace, which produces the BrahMos missiles, to accelerate sales to a list of five countries topped by Vietnam, according to a government note viewed by Reuters and previously unreported.
