(REOPENS TAR108)
Singh said the Indian side was looking forward to visit
by India's President Pratibha Patil to China next year on
mutually acceptable dates.

The meeting between Singh and Wen came in the backdrop of
war of words between India and China over Arunachal and other
issues like China issuing visas to people from India's
northernmost state of Jammu and Kashmir on loose sheets.
India also strongly voiced its objection to Chinese
developmental activities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
New Delhi has also made clear its objections to building
of a dam by China on Brahmaputra river.
China has expressed objection to the proposed visit of
Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama's to Arunachal Pradesh
next month. India, on its part, has rejected the objection and
maintained that he was free to travel anywhere in the country.
However, in the last few days conciliatory tones were
heard from both New Delhi and Beijing. Senior functionaries of
both the countries said the border issue could be resolved by
dialogue. PTI PC
