BEIJING, China (AP) — Highlighting the growing role of the Chinese and Indian economies in driving world trade, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh addressed a business conference in Beijing on Monday at the start of a state visit aimed at revitalizing sometimes strained relations between the two Asian giants.
Singh arrived in Beijing on Sunday for a three-day visit and was scheduled to meet with top Chinese leaders including President Hu Jintao, Premier Wen Jiabao and the Communist Party’s No. 2 ranking official, Wu Bangguo.
Singh’s visit, the first by an Indian prime minister in nearly five years, comes as the two nations see their bilateral trade surge to $37 billion (25.04 billion) in 2007.
