| He told the Chinese state news agency on arrival that ties between the states had acquired global significance.
Mr Singh will hold talks with President Hu Jintao, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and China's top legislator, Wu Bangguo.
Their discussions are expected to focus on territorial disputes and increasing bilateral trade, worth $37bn (£18.9bn).
In December, the powerful states held a landmark joint military exercise.
The war games in the south-western Chinese province of Yunnan, the first of their kind between the two largest armies in the world, involved just over 100 soldiers from each side.
Military ties between the countries have been tense since a brief but bloody border war in 1962.
Trade discussions
After arriving in Beijing on Sunday, Mr Singh began his visit by touring several venues featuring in this year's Olympic Games.
Whilst viewing an exhibition hall for the event, he said the capital's preparations had been a "source of inspiration for India" and that some of the venues were "breathtaking".
