External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has said that India has a relationship of cooperation and competition with China.

Talking to reporters in New Delhi yesterday, the minister made it clear that the recent expansionist remark by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Japan did not specifically refer to any country.

Ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to India, Mrs Swaraj said India wants China to understand and appreciate its sensitivities regarding Arunachal Pradesh as New Delhi respects Beijing's position on Tibet and Taiwan.
