Yang made the remarks while meeting with his Indian counterpart, S.M. Krishna, in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, during the 10th China-Russia-India foreign ministers' meeting.

This year marked the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Sino-Indian diplomatic relations, said Yang.

Yang also praised the continuing development of bilateral ties over the past 60 years, featuring frequent high-level exchanges and continuously enhanced bilateral cooperation in all areas.

On international and regional issues, the two countries' communications and coordination are also becoming closer, said Yang, noting that China attached great importance to the strategic cooperative partnership with India.

Further, leaders of China and India have agreed that the world is large enough to accommodate the common development of both China and India, and broad enough for the two countries to improve their cooperation, said Yang.

The two ministers also exchanged views on international issues of common concern.

Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Indian Minister of External Affairs S.M. Krishna arrived in Wuhan Saturday afternoon for trilateral talks slated for Nov. 14 to 15.

On the sidelines of the two-day meeting, Yang will also have separate bilateral talks with his Russian counterpart.

During the two-day meeting, the three foreign ministers are scheduled to discuss international and regional issues of common interest aimed at promoting practical cooperation among the three countries.

The last round of meetings of this kind was held in India in October 2009.
