"The right path for the two sides is to respect and support each other as this serves our long-term interests," said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao "So, China stands ready to work with India to enhance our political mutual trust, properly manage our differences," he added In his speech, PM Modi had said that "whether it is terrorism or expansionism, India is fighting both with determination"
