Beijing: India and China should "keep their disagreements in check," Beijing has recommended as its Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrives in Delhi on Friday night.
State-run news agency Xinhua also firmly reiterated that India must stop blaming China for its failed attempt in June to enter the Nuclear Suppliers Group or NSG, which groups 48 countries who trade in sophisticated nuclear technology and material.
After first stating that "one country" had blocked India's membership, India directly named China and Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj told the parliament that the government plans to continue engaging with Beijing to win its support.
"New Delhi should not be downhearted as the door to the NSG is not tightly closed," said Xinhua on Friday, even as it repeated that the nuclear group should not be open to country that has not signed the main global arms control pact, the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT. India is not a signatory to the agreement.
On Tuesday, a state-run newspaper in China warned India not to seek explanations for Beijing's claims to the disputed South China Sea, which were recently rejected by an international tribunal. China has rejected that verdict.
In addition to valuable natural resources, the South China Sea provides passage for goods worth 5 trillion dollars a year, making it strategically and economically crucial.
