Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying has said that "I noted the relevant report. Regarding the CPEC, China has repeatedly reiterated our position. As to the differences between China and India, China stands ready to communicate and hold talks with India to seek a proper solution so that these differences will not affect our general national interests. This best serves the interests of the two countries."

She added that "We should not ask one party alone to solve this problem.
