Chinese Prime Minster Wen Jiabao, while holding talks with Manmohan Singh, has mentioned that China wishes for a "healthy and steady relationship" with India.
The Indian and Chinese prime ministers were meeting on the margins of the ASEAN and East Asia summits, taking place in Thailand.
"We want to have a healthy and steady relationship with India. I hope we can use this opportunity to exchange our views on all related issues," Wen said in his opening remarks.
Manmohan Singh said: "I am excited to see you." He said Chinese people have had a number of achievements "and we share their sense of accomplishment". He said this in the context of the 60th anniversary of the founding of modern China.
Manmohan Singh also recalled his meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Russia in June this year.
Earlier, the Chinese premier received Manmohan Singh like an old friend and spoke of the meetings they have had in the past.
