Patience required for resolving boundary problem : Krishna

Bangalore, Oct 28 (PTI) India Wednesday said the
resolution of boundary dispute with China will take time,
requiring "a lot of patience", even as it acknowledged
occasional Chinese incursions but said there was no cause for
alarm.

A day after his talks with Chinese counterpart Yang
Jiechi here, Indian External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said
both the neighbours are eager to have cordial and friendly
ties.
He also said that China is not building any dam on
Brahmaputra river, reports of which had raised concerns in
India which publicly amplified these.
"China wants to have cordial relations with India and
India would like to have very friendly relations with China.
The effort is to take the relation to being one of
partnership," Krishna told reporters here, adding that he
found goodwill on both sides.
When referred to incursions by Chinese troops, he said
the border with China is not delineated and "as a result there
could possibly be incursions once in a while but there is
nothing to be alarmed about as the border is peaceful and
relations are warm."
Krishna pointed out that Special Representatives of the
two countries -- Indian National Security Adviser M K
Narayanan and Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Dai Binggou -- are
engaged in discussions for resolution of the boundary
question.
"It is a long boundary, it's a time consuming process.
We will have to have a lot of patience before they (Special
Representatives) complete their task," he said. (MORE) PTI AKK
