Wuhan (China): Even Chinese President Xi Jinping is not immune to the strong draw of Bollywood and India's vibrant regional cinema. Xi is fond of Indian movies and has watched a number of them, India's Foreign Secretary Vijay K Gokhale said in Wuhan, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Xi held an informal meeting.
"The proposals forwarded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi included moving ahead to find ways to collaborate in terms of entertainment including films. It would be a good idea to expand this. More Indian films should come to China and vice versa," Mr Gokhale told reporters.
Actor Aamir Khan in January had said he wants to make a "film with Chinese and Indian talent". "It will be really wonderful," Mr Khan said, according to video clips posted by microblogging site Weibo, a service similar to Twitter in China.
The two sides also agreed to expand cooperation in healthcare and digital empowerment. "The two leaders said the informal meeting was candid and helped in boosting strategic ties," Mr Gokhale said.
