Indo-China Border talks begin

PTI, New Delhi
India and China on Monday held third round of crucial talks between their Special Representatives (SRs) aimed at expediting resolution of the vexed border question, first since the UPA Government came to power.

National Security Adviser JN Dixit warmly received his Chinese counterpart and Executive Vice Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo at his South Block office before the two sides commenced the parleys.

During the two-day talks, they will have an in-depth exchange of views on the guiding principles that were formulated during the earlier meetings.

The earlier two rounds of border talks with Dai were held between the then National Security Adviser of NDA Government Brajesh Mishra. The Cabinet Committee on Security had on Saturday finalised the brief for the meeting.

It is also the first time that National Security Adviser and India's Special Representative JN Dixit met Dai Bingguo for the two-day talks.
