 "New Delhi and Beijing reaffirm ties following President Obama's India trip")
Beijing: China and India are reaffirming their ties following US President Barack Obama’s visit to New Delhi that underscored Beijing’s complicated relationship with both countries.
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday welcomed India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to Beijing and said he expected greater developments in ties between the two Asian giants this year. Swaraj is attending a trilateral forum in Beijing among China, India and Russia.
Obama’s visit to India last month was seen in China as an attempt to deepen US influence in countries on China’s periphery.
Beijing’s relations with New Delhi received a big boost from Xi’s visit to the country in September, although the sides still differ over their disputed border, unequal trade and China’s attempts to expand its influence into the Indian Ocean.
