China and India want better relations, India's External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said, in the latest sign of a thaw between the Asian rivals as they push to normalize relations amid unpredictable U.S. trade policies.
The remarks were made at a bilateral meeting between Jaishankar and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, who is visiting India for the first time in three years.
"Having seen a difficult period in our relationship' both nations "now seek to move ahead,' Jaishankar said in New Delhi on Monday. "Differences must not become disputes, nor competition conflict,' he added.

He is known as a "Japan hand" having dealt with policies on Japan for many years. Lee is expected to assume the post with Japan's consent. In May this year, Lee wrote on South Korea's relations with Japan for leading South Korean newspaper, JoongAng Ilbo. He noted that while responding clearly and strictly on historical issues, it is separately time for Seoul to start full-fledged exchanges toward the future with Tokyo. On Saturday, President Lee is to start his first visit to Japan since taking office. He has repeatedly expressed his intension to develop ties with Japan, mainly on the economy. Lee Hyuk is expected to serve as a bridge between the two countries.
