Beijing,
\nExternal Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday asked Indians and Chinese to learn each other\u2019s language as it would help them overcome the communication barriers, which could further strengthen relations between the two neighbours.<\/p>\n
Swaraj, who is on a four-day China visit, made the remarks during a programme, titled \u2018Contribution of Hindi in India-China Friendship\u2019, organised by the Indian Embassy. \u201cWhen two friends sit together, what do they want? They want to talk their hearts out to each other, share what they feel. And for that we need a language. I should be able to understand Chinese when you speak, and you should be able to understand Hindi when I talk,\u201d Swaraj said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there is an interpreter sitting between two friends, he may be able to translate the words, but not the feelings with which I say something. So, it is essential that we learn a language, and understand it,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to say that the way India and China\u2019s relation are strengthening, trade is increasing, we are working together on international forums, it has become increasingly important that you learn Hindi and we learn Chinese,\u201d the External Affairs Minister said.<\/p>\n
She invoked the success of Bollywood hits such as \u201cDangal\u201d, \u201cSecret Superstar\u201d and \u201cHindi Medium\u201d to stress that Hindi films are gaining popularity in China, but said an understanding of the language instead of subtitles could improve their experiences of watching such films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
