Chinese envoy calls for "actively pursuing mutually beneficial cooperation"

Chinese Ambassador Xu Feihong urges Indian and Chinese youth to deepen cooperation in AI, digital economy, and green technology for mutual success.

"We should achieve development through our own efforts while actively pursuing mutually beneficial cooperation and supporting each other's success. - Ambassador Xu Feihong"

New Delhi, March 26

Chinese Ambassador Xu Feihong on Thursday stressed that Chinese and Indian youth should "deepen exchanges and cooperation" in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, digital economy, and green technology."

While speaking at the 4th China-India Youth Dialogue in the national capital, he highlighted the parallel growth trajectories of the two Asian giants, noting that both nations have reached a significant milestone in their developmental journeys.

"In recent decades, both China and India have achieved remarkable development. These achievements are built on the hard work and wisdom of our own people, supported by global cooperation," Ambassador Xu Feihong said.

He emphasised "supporting each other's success," stating, "Today, both our countries are at a critical stage of development and national rejuvenation. We should achieve development through our own efforts while actively pursuing mutually beneficial cooperation and supporting each other's success."

The Ambassador specifically pointed toward the rapidly evolving technological landscape, identifying innovation as a key pillar for future engagement. "Recently, China's innovation has drawn global attention, from humanoid robots performing martial arts to AI video models. India has also made artificial intelligence a national priority through the India AI mission," he noted.

Encouraging the younger generation to lead this technological shift, he added, "Chinese and Indian youth should deepen exchanges and cooperation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, digital economy, and green technology."

Reflecting on his personal observations since beginning his tenure in India, the envoy spoke about the growing cultural footprints of Chinese digital and lifestyle products. "When I arrived in this incredible land two years ago, I found that China's new trio of cultural products, online games, web series, and online literature, has quietly become part of the daily lives of Indian youth. Trending Chinese products like Labubu are also emerging as new vehicles to express individuality," he said.

Referencing the high-level diplomatic engagements that have paved the way for strengthened bilateral ties, Ambassador Xu stated, "Since the meetings between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kazan and Tianjin, China-India relations have moved to a new level of improvement, with positive progress in exchanges and cooperation across various fields."

It's true about the cultural products! My younger cousins are obsessed with those Chinese web series on streaming apps. If youth exchanges can foster genuine understanding and tech collaboration, it's a good step forward. 🤝

"Mutually beneficial cooperation" is a nice phrase, but trust has to be built. The border situation must be peaceful and stable first. Technology partnerships are welcome, but our national security can't be compromised.

As someone working in the startup ecosystem, I see huge potential in India-China collaboration in the digital economy. Both markets are massive and innovative. Focusing on green tech could be a win for the entire planet.

The envoy's words are diplomatic, as expected. India's AI mission is our own priority. We should cooperate where it helps us, but also fiercely compete and build our own technological sovereignty. Jai Hind!

Youth dialogues are always positive. We share so much as ancient civilizations. Learning from each other in emerging tech while preserving our own culture and values is the balanced path. More people-to-people contact is needed.
