NEW DELHI, March 11: India and China held a new round of talks on Saturday aimed at settling a decades-old border row in their first top-level meeting since New Delhi struck a landmark nuclear deal with the United States.
India’s National Security Adviser M. K. Narayanan and Dai Bingguo, China’s executive vice-foreign minister, led the two sides in discussing the dispute.
“China believes as long as the two sides proceed forward and conduct patient, thorough and friendly consultations ... we can find a fair and reasonable framework (agreement),” foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in Beijing ahead of the talks.
