India and China supported each other in their fight for independence and the two nations share a common dream of development and revitalization, Xu Feihong, Chinese Ambassador to India, said on Thursday.
The Chinese Ambassador, who visited the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, said Mahatma Gandhi observed that China and India are fellow travellers sharing both joy and sorrow in a common journey.
"Mahatma Ganhdi observed that China and India are fellow travellers sharing weal and woe in a common journey. Yes, we supported each other fighting for independence and liberation. We share common dream of development and revitalization," Feihong said in a post on X.
The Ambassador also shared photos of him garlanding a statue of Mahatma Gandhi and signing the visitor's book at the Sabarmati Ashram.
The ashram, also known as Gandhi Ashram, is the place where Mahatma Gandhi lived and worked from 1917 to 1930. The place, in the Sabarmati suburb of Ahmedabad, became the headquarters from where Gandhi spearheaded the freedom struggle.
In a separate post, Xu Feihong also shared the photographs of Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad saying that Chinese President Xi Jinping and PM Narendra Modi walked along the riverfront ten years ago.
"Ten years ago, President Xi Jinping and PM Modi walked along the Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad, beautiful park and pleasant China-India relationship. Today the park is still expanding its construction, and no efforts could be spared to advance our relationship," he said in a post on X.
