We are hopeful that China will reciprocate the initiatives aimed at mutual trust-building and understanding," said Antony.
China has recently contracted to supply 36 J-10 fighter jets to Pakistan. China and Pakistan have also joined hands to develop third generation fighter aircraft JF-17.
The defence minister said that India was keen to develop "friendlier" relations with its neighbouring countries, including China and Pakistan, but at the same time there are issues which are of concern to it.
"We have always striven for peaceful relations with all our neighbours. Even with a vibrant democracy and a prospering economy, we cannot ignore the security calculus. Our prime minister's willingness to resume the dialogue with Pakistan must be seen in this context," asserted Antony.

Respectfully, Gleb Chebrikoff
