CHINA-LD INDIA 2LAST

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Chinese
counterpart Wen Jiabao have agreed to maintain peace and
tranquillity on the borders.

On October 24, Singh and Wen met on the margins of the
ASEAN Summit in Thailand amid Chinese protests over Arunachal
Pradesh and reached a consensus that the two neighbours should
forge a strategic partnership.
India does not visualise any conflict on border issues
with China, Mukherjee said.
In New Delhi, Minister of State for External Affairs
Shashi Tharoor dismissed the suggestion that India had prodded
the Dalai Lama to undertake the visit.
"This suggestion has not come from us, because we do
not deal with the spiritual travels of a spiritual leader. He
has to visit his flock as he deems fit. So I am sure that as
far as I am aware, the initiative would have come from him and
the government would have been informed about it", the
minister said adding the Dalai Lama "is free to travel
anywhere in India".
The Dalai Lama, who is on a week-long visit to
Arunachal Pradesh, had dismissed as "totally baseless" China
accusing him of encouraging a separatist movement. PTI HSR
