China-India resolve border issue in cyberspace BALI, Indonesia, Wednesday (Reuters) China and India have resolved a longstanding border dispute with a tweak in cyberspace. A decades-old row over the status of Sikkim, which is a part of India but has long been disputed by China, ended after a meeting between Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and his Indian counterpart, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, on Wednesday on the sidelines of a Southeast Asian summit. "I would characterise this meeting as excellent and remarkable in terms of the cordiality and friendliness of its tone and conduct," Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal said after the talks between the giant neighbours that have fought one border war in the last five decades. China's Foreign Ministry had altered its Web site to take into account the status of Sikkim and no longer showed the tiny Himalayan region as a separate country, he told reporters. |
