Sino-Indian Ties Can\'t be Duplicated: Chinese Media. The Sino-Indian cooperation is of enormous strategic value for New Delhi and such a relationship cannot be \"duplicated\" by its bilateral ties with any other country, an influential official Chinese daily said on Wednesday, coinciding with the visit of President Xi Jinping to India.

Beijing: The Sino-Indian cooperation is of enormous strategic value for New Delhi and such a relationship cannot be "duplicated" by its bilateral ties with any other country, an influential official Chinese daily said on Wednesday, coinciding with the visit of President Xi Jinping to India.

State-run Global Times, part of the ruling Communist Party of China's People's Daily publication group, said in an editorial that the Sino-Indian cooperation is "invaluable". "The geopolitical significance of the benign development of Beijing-New Delhi ties can't be duplicated," said the daily. "The better China-India relations develop, the more advantages and initiatives India can have when dealing with the US and Japan."

China has been regarded as their biggest rival by the US and Japan, who instinctively try to rope in China's neighbours to their cause, the editorial said. "A positive New Delhi-Beijing engagement would force Washington and Tokyo to cosy up to India," it said. On the global strategic chessboard, Japan and India wield nearly the same influence. In contrast to Japan's hostile policy towards China, India follows a cooperative principle.

Xi launches $1.4bn SL port city

Colombo: Describing Sri Lanka as an "all-weather" friend, China on Wednesday put bilateral ties on a firm footing with President Xi Jinping launching the construction of a USD 1.4 billion port city, the single largest FDI project in the country being built on an artificial island near here.

Ahead of his India visit, Xi wrapped up his two-day trip to the island nation this morning by visiting Colombo harbour where he along with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa launched the Colombo Port City Project to build a modern city on a land reclaimed from the sea.
