The comments came in the backdrop of China barring two Indian journalists from entering the country.
China on Thursday said it would like to treat Indian journalists like "friend and family" after India expressed hope that Beijing would facilitate their continued presence in their country.
The comments came in the backdrop of China barring two Indian journalists from entering the country, claiming India had refused to approve applications of Chinese journalists.
We don't see any difficulties in reporting for Chinese journalists carrying valid Indian visas to carry out journalistic activities, said Arindam Bagchi, foreign ministry spokesperson, yesterday.
For Indian journalists working in China, he said, "We would hope that Chinese authorities would facilitate their continued presence and reporting from China."
