The China-India bilateral trade is showing strong resilience as the trade volume decline between the two countries remains much lower than India s decline in global trade in 2020. Bilateral trade has been continuously increasing in the first quarter of 2021, said the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) on Thursday.
In 2020, the trade volume between China and India reached $87.6 billion, which demonstrates the strong resilience of the trade cooperation between the two countries, Gao Feng, the spokesperson for the MOFCOM, said on Thursday at a press conference. He added that the two major emerging economies are highly complementary and have a great potential for more cooperation.
