This was the first top-level interaction between India and China after Beijing lifted its technical hold at the 1267 Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council, paving the way for the designation of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist.
The two countries are expected to consolidate the dialogue at the highest level after the installation of a new government in India.
The new Indian Prime Minister and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to host an informal summit in India later this year.
The first informal summit between the leaders of the two countries had taken place at Wuhan in China last year following the tense military stand-off at Doklam in the summer of 2017.
It was decided by the two leaderships that they would not allow differences between their two nations to become disputes.
