Newly-appointed Chinese Ambassador to India, Xu Feihong on Friday said that India and China boast of being time-honoured civilizations and are each other’s important neighbours.
In an interview with China Global Television Network, Xu Feihong shared his first reaction to being appointed as the Indian ambassador after a considerable hiatus and said that it is an honourable mission and a sacred duty.
“I will do my best to deepen understanding and friendship between the two peoples, expand exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and improve and advance the bilateral relationship,” he said.
He expressed confidence in getting support and assistance from the Indian government from all sectors as he began his ambassadorial duties.
Emphasising his priorities, he said that both China and India boast time-honoured civilizations and are each other’s important neighbours.
