We need to see each other's development in a correct way and enhance strategic mutual trust. We should correctly view our differences and never let the differences shadow the overall situation of bilateral cooperation. At the same time, we should gradually seek understanding through communication and constantly resolve differences," he said.Sun said the realisation of 'Dragon and Elephant dancing together' is the only right choice for China and India, which serves the fundamental interests of the two countries and their people.The remarks have come at a time when there is border tension between the two countries in eastern Ladakh and efforts are on to defuse the situation.There was also a face-off between troops of two countries in Sikkim.

We did not cover up anything, and did not delay any efforts," he said.He said as two major emerging economies, China and India should strengthen practical cooperation in investment, production capacity and other fields, and expand the cake of common interests. "China hopes to develop itself and India as well. The two countries should help each other to accomplish their respective goals and `light up' each other," he said.Sun hoped that the youth of the two countries would realize the importance of developing China-India relations and deepen understanding of the important consensus reached by two leaders of two countries."I hope the youth of China and India will contribute more wisdom and strength to promoting China-India friendship and the development of bilateral relations," he said.Sun gave suggestions to foster partnership.The Chinese envoy said the two countries are fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and they have "important task" to consolidate relations.He noted that the Indian government took decisive measures to contain the spread of coronavirus and the support of people had played a big role in controlling the spread of the disease.He also wished India an early victory in the battle against coronavirus. Sun said China has simultaneously promoted vaccine research and development through five technical routes."At present, China has made great progress in vaccine research and development. China has simultaneously promoted vaccine research and development through five technical routes. It is reported that eight novel coronavirus vaccine candidates are in the clinical trial, four from China," he said."On May 22, the Chinese team led by Chen Wei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, published a report on the world-known medical journal Lancet. The phase-1 trial results of their vaccine candidate on humans prove to be safe and effective. This result is encouraging," he added.He recalled that President Xi Jinping had said that China will ensure that the vaccine, once developed, would be accessible and affordable for developing countries.He said China had taken "four early" and "four concentrated" measures in its fight against coronavirus and tried to achieve the goal of "testing all who need to be tested, hospitalisation of all who need to be hospitalised, isolating and treating all who need to be isolated and treated."Sun said that more than 340 medical teams of 42,000 medical workers across the country and half a million volunteers went to Hubei to fight the epidemic.
