India and China hold talks on border dispute

[sicsheep]

Senior Indian and Chinese officials are meeting in Delhi for talks aimed at resolving a contentious border dispute, the first discussions since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power.

China's special representative Yang Jiechi is in Delhi for talks with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.

The talks are seeking to improve ties before Mr Modi visits Beijing in May.

The neighbours were involved in a bitter two-week stand-off near their de facto border in September 2014.

The two countries share an ill-defined 4,057km (2,520 miles) border and fought a brief war in 1962.

Tensions flare up from time to time and numerous rounds of border talks have been unsuccessful so far. The latest meeting in Delhi is the 18th round of boundary talks.

Since taking over as prime minister last summer, Mr Modi has spoken of his desire for better relations with China and called for an early settlement of the border dispute.

In September during his visit to India, Chinese President Xi Jinping said he was committed to working with India to maintain "peace and tranquillity".

Problem is how much land India can give back to China..

The problem is not that what deal can be reached, but the gesture that both sides are taking effort to avoid conflict.

Without conflicts something good will not be given up by the mobs.

Silly gestures that just are for shows and fooling nobody

Guess our people @ Foreign Affairs Office must be obssessed with Indian curry so much they have to personally pay the visits so as to have a periodic taste of it

Waste of time. Hindu will not give back South Tibet. China will need to use force to get it back.

India is a backstabber, I thought China already knows about this.

Aksai chin is a barren land.....but it's the eye of central asia, with which we can look down at Delhi, and it'd be more than hard to occupy it from low areas, simply a sword hung over Indian's Head. How much will you pay for it?

Are you the part of the delegation, that you are bargaining here ?

So are you one of the Indian Delegation? I'm just stating the truth. Aksai chin is the ultimate strategic area in central Asia.

Strategic or not is not the point of discussion.
It is to whom it belongs.
