The governments of India and China are holding table talks to draft a solution to the prevailing tension at their borders. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang visited New Delhi on Monday to contemplate practical measures to enhance peace and harmony.

Li met with his counterpart Manmohan Singh and both agreed to work as allies in order to emerge as one of the strongest economies in Asia. Singh promised Li that India will cooperate and as a sign of willing to maintain friendly relations, Singh will add Beijing to the list of his upcoming foreign visits.

“The purpose of my current visit to India is three-fold — to increase mutual trust, to intensify cooperation and to face the future. On the basis of deeper mutual trust, our two countries can further deepen our mutual understanding and construct a new type of relations between major countries, promote healthy and sound development of China and India. That will be a true blessing for Asia and the world,” Li said.

The two neighboring countries were alarmed at a long-running border dispute in a remote Himalayan region. India accused Chinese troops of intruding into Indian-claimed territory, while China refuted the allegations.

“As Beijing’s new leadership is making a concerted effort to challenge India’s territorial assertions, India will have to plan new attempts to bridge the perceptional distances between these two huge neighbors,” Sujit Dutta, a China expert at Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia University said.
