Premier Li Keqiang
President of CPAFFC Madame Li Xiaolin
Hon’ble Chief Ministers, Governors and Mayors
This is a historic moment in the relationship between India and China.
Today, we are launching a new vehicle for advancing cooperation between our two countries.
In times to come, this will become one of the most important instruments for deepening our economic partnership and contact between our people.
As someone who has been Chief Minister for thirteen years and Prime Minister for one, this forum has a special place in my heart.
But, it is not just my sentiments that lead me to give such importance to this new institution.
It comes from a serious conviction, born from my experience, that states have a vital role to play in the national development.
This is especially true for large and populous countries, with a high degree of geographical, social and economic diversity.
It becomes even more relevant, when the constitutional and political systems are federal in structure.
These attributes exist in both India and China, the world's two most populous nations.
In India's Constitution, state governments have predominant role in economic and social development.
The Central Government creates the macro-economic environment. It can set the broad social and economic agenda and directions for the nation.
It can launch development policies and schemes. It can manage resources.
But, in the end, the state governments have an important role in their implementation.
