India, China start new round of talks on border dispute BEIJING, Monday (AFP) Indian and Chinese negotiators were meeting in Beijing Monday for a new round of talks aimed at resolving the ongoing border dispute between the nuclear neighbours, officials said. India's National Security Advisor Brajesh Mishra arrived Sunday for the two days of dialogue and was meeting Vice Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo. "He is in town and having discussions with his counterpart," said P.K. Rawat, a spokesman at the Indian embassy. Mishra, who is the representative of Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on the border issue, is also expected to call on some senior Chinese leaders and exchange views on bilateral ties as well as other issues of common concern. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said Beijing hoped progress would result from Mishra's visit. "We hope that against the backdrop of the continuous development of Sino-Indian relations, the two sides' representatives will actively inquire into and solve the border issues between the two countries," spokesman Kong Quan said at a regular briefing. |
