NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that India was working on the objective of ensuring that differences with China do not develop into disputes. In an interview to CNN-News 18, Modi acknowledged that both India and China had differences. So, both sides have accepted that we have differences, but our objective is that these differences don't turn into disputes," Modi said. Now, the situation had changed with only China standing with Pakistan, with the rest of world backing India. On being asked whether a boycott of Chinese goods and stopping trade with Beijing was a way to express India’s displeasure with China, Modi said that given that there were international laws in place, India's official stand must align with international rules and regulations.
