Chinas Republic Day message to India: Want to lift our partnership to higher level, says Xi: As United States President Barack Obama continues his India visit marking a deepening of strategic relations, his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, on Monday in a Republic Day message to President Pranab Mukherjee said he was keen to lift India and Chinas strategic cooperative partnership to a higher level.In a separate message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said his government was ready to work with India to deepen their mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields and build a closer partnership of development.While China has been closely following the outcomes of the Obama visit, Chinese State media in recent days sought to play down any concerns China might have by the deepening of defence and maritime security ties between India and the US.India for its part has assured China that it will not join any efforts aimed at containing China - a message that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj is likely to repeat when she arrives in Beijing later this week - with Beijing blaming the US in recent months of allying with its neighbours, such as the Japan and the Philippines, to contain Chinas rise.
