Development of China and India of mutual benefit: senior CPC official (2)

Sonia Gandhi said India and China were ancient states of civilization and also friendly neighbors.

India had always paid great attention to China's development and welcomed the improvement in the living standard of the Chinese people, she said.

Over the past 20 years, India had made huge changes. Hundreds of thousands of people had been lifted out of poverty and the life of the people had been improved in a general sense, she said.

Sonia Gandhi said India's and China's development had speeded up the recovery of the world economy in the face of the international financial crisis and she hoped both sides could strengthen coordination and cooperation further and tackle various global issues in a better way and maintain the favorable momentum of development.

Zhou briefed Sonia Gandhi on the Fifth Plenary Session of the 17th CPC's Central Committee, which was held last month.
