Given two circles $C1$ and $C2$ how do I prove that the line joining their centers will pass through the point of intersection of their internal common tangents.I tried to form a linear pair and prove this but failed again and again.

Hint: Each center is of equal distance to the (common) tangent lines, so it lies on one of the angle bisectors of the angles created by the tangent lines.
