Trilateral cooperation between India, China and Russia will
help democratise international relations and safeguard world peace, security
and stability, the Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, told a group of journalists on
Tuesday.
The three countries shared
"identical and similar" views on many issues, Mr. Wen said.
"Coordination and cooperation" among them served the interest of peace
and stability in the region and the world at large.
China, India and Russia were
all "influential" countries and China was "positive towards
trilateral cooperation," Mr. Wen said. This "cooperation and
coordination" was by no means an alliance and not targeted at any other
country.
Mr. Wen, who left for Beijing
later in the day, said that his visit to India had produced "rich
results" and that reporters could see "all the smiles" on his
face. He quoted his Indian counterpart, Manmohan Singh, as telling him on
Monday, that "we two are making history."
Future

worked together, the Chinese Prime Minister, Wen Jiabao, today said that the two
countries were not rivals.
