The two presidents spoke of their high value of bilateral traditional friendship and cultural exchanges, adding that they believed that China-India cooperation is of global significance.

Hu said he is convinced that Sino-Indian strategic and cooperative partnership will achieve greater progress in the future.

Kalam said Hu's visit is a historic milestone in bilateral relations which will continue to score achievements in various fields. He added India will spare no effort to inject vigor into Sino-Indian relations and work with China to push forward their partnership.

Before the meeting, the two presidents addressed youth representatives from the two countries at a gathering in celebration of the China-India friendship year.

Hu arrived in New Delhi Monday evening on a state visit as Kalam's guest, constituting the first visit in 10 years by a Chinese head of state to India.

India is the third leg of Hu's four-nation tour, which has already taken him to Vietnam and Laos. He will later visit Pakistan.

Hu also attended the 14th APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Economic Leaders' Meeting between November 17 and 19 in Hanoi, capital of Vietnam.
