Beijing, January 22: China on Tuesday hinted that its growing relationship with India was independent of its ties with Pakistan with whom its was promoting a comprehensive cooperation as part of an "established policy."

Describing India and China as "two important developing countries and important neighbours" to each other, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu said that further improving and developing relations between the two nations was in the interest of both and peace, stability and prosperity in the region.

At a regular news briefing in Beijing, Jiang was asked if China's "sound momentum" of relations with India following Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to China last week would impact its ties with Pakistan with whom New Delhi had "differences."

Jiang also said China "highly" valued its relations with Pakistan and it was Beijing's "established policy" to promote a comprehensive cooperation with Islamabad and to further deepen its strategic partnership.

"As a neighbour to both India and Pakistan, China always supports India and Pakistan to improve their relations," she said.

Giving a further impetus to their growing relations during Singh's maiden visit in Beijing, China and India had signed 'A Shared Vision for the 21st century' to enhance mutual understanding and friendship and to build a "boundary of peace and friendship."

The two sides had also decided to boost the bilateral trade and revised the trade target to USD 60 billion to be achieved by 2010.
