Xi made the remarks while meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in western India's Goa during the sidelines of the BRICS summit, which is being held from Saturday to Sunday.

The development of a healthy China-India relationship is not only helpful for the people of both countries, but also good for developing countries in the global governance system, Xi told Modi.

China would like to work with India to keep the positive momentum of the G20 summit, held in East China's Hangzhou city last month, and push forward to make the BRICS Summit in Goa a fruitful one, Xi said.

Modi said that both India and China are committed to the joint efforts to make the 21st century become the "century of Asia".

India would like to work with China under multiple frameworks, including the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Modi said, adding that India supports China to host the BRICS Summit next year.

The Goa summit, themed Building Responsive, Inclusive and Collective Solutions, will be attended by leaders of the five BRICS countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. A Goa declaration will be issued when the summit concludes on Sunday.
