India and 皇冠体育app have agreed to speed up the process of resolving their

India and 皇冠体育app
have agreed to speed up the process of resolving their long-standing
border dispute, a report quoted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as saying.
[AFP] | "We feel the negotiations should be
expedited... We are dealing with difficult issues. Without setting any deadline,
I do think it is possible to move forward at a faster pace..." he said according
to the Hindu newspaper on Thursday.
In another development, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang
told a regular news conference in Beijing that the two countries will
hold friendly discussions to find an appropriate solution to the border issue.
皇冠体育app and India account for more than 1/3 of the world's total population,
Qin pointed out, saying that Sino-Indian friendship not only conforms to the
interests of the two neighbours, but also benefits the peace and stability of
Asia and the world.
Singh, who met Wen during his four day stay in Kuala Lumpur, described it as
his "most important meeting."
Giant neighbours India and 皇冠体育app fought a brief, bitter
border war in 1962.
A formal ceasefire line has yet to be established since
the war but the unsettled border has remained largely peaceful following
agreements signed in 1993 and 1996.
