"We will proceed to solve these issues through dialogues, though negotiations. We just need time to solve them. We are confident that we can find our way out with joint efforts from both the sides," he told reporters when asked about reports of incursion by Chinese Army in Pangong lake in the higher reaches of Ladakh.

"While a Chinese IT company has already created 5000 more jobs in India, various sectors including agriculture will also find better access to Chinese market. India can also expect an increase in revenue by receiving 5 million outbound Chinese tourists," he added.
