Other issues of mutual interest will also be discussed: Foreign Ministry
Special Representatives from India and China will meet in New Delhi on Monday for the fifteenth round of talks on the border dispute, both governments confirmed on Saturday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Liu Weimin said State Councillor Dai Bingguo, China's Special Representative in the negotiations, would travel to New Delhi on Sunday for the talks.
Besides the boundary negotiations, both countries will hold discussions “on a wide range of bilateral, regional and global issues of mutual interest,” the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement issued in New Delhi.
The talks were scheduled to take place last year in November, but were postponed at the last minute after China objected to the holding of a Buddhist conference in New Delhi, attended by the Dalai Lama, on the same dates.
Sending a positive signal ahead of the talks, Mr. Dai told Indian officials here on Wednesday, during a visit to India's newly opened embassy in Beijing, that both countries needed to handle issues “wisely, calmly and properly” to prevent them from “becoming barriers.”
Little progress
The long-running talks have made little progress, and are currently in the difficult second stage of negotiations, which involves agreeing upon a framework to settle the dispute. The first stage concluded with an agreement on political parameters and guiding principles in 2005. The final stage involves the specifics of delineating the border.
China´s and India´s relationship is extremely vital for Asia´s growth and prosperity. Therefore, China and India must open-up, and start to trust each other. China and India must stop playing games, but get into serious business. Any game would back fire on each other and push the billions of Asians under the Western Powers forever. We have an opportunity to make a history in Asia, this opprtunity will not repeat for our chiildren or for our grandchildren or for our future generations. We have a golden opportunity to make Asia as the most powerful region in the world. If China and India work together nobody would dare to step into Asia. The world knows this, that is why they are trying hard to divide China and India as much as possible.
This dialogue should be successful to defeat the sentiment against
China induced by some political parties and medias and make friendly
our neighbour speedly developing country.There is no meaning in
indulging war between countries and waste our resources in killing
people of both countries which should be used to develop their
life.We hope that the talks would get good results
India and China ought to be matured nations by now in contemporary world due to their great cultural heritage. Fighting for a piece of land is an outdated philosophy. Governments insted should concentrate their energies whether in communism or democracy, on solving peoples problems and help them to live in dignity by adopting best welfare measures. There is no alternative to China and India except to live in harmony, peace and amity helping each other all times with a ton of sincerity and truth.
