'I am satisfied with talks with Wen Jiabao,' says Manmohan Singh | Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on Saturday
expressed satisfaction over the talks he held with his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao on the sidelines of ASEAN summit a day ago. Interacting with media persons
onboard his special aircraft, which was flying from Vietnam capital Hanoi to Delhi,
the Prime Minster informed that during his bilateral meeting with his Chinese
counterpart Wen Jiabao on Friday, both discussed all issues of bialateral interest
in totality, and resolved to find practical, pragmatic mutually satisfactory solution
to them, including the disputed boundary question. "In general way, we discussed
totality of our two country's resolve to find practical, pragmatic mutually satisfactory
solution to the border problem, and then, recognized the complexity of the issues
that we have to deal with. Meanwhile, peace and tranquility has to be maintained
along the border," Dr. Singh told media persons. Asked if he thought China has
softened its position, Dr. Singh said: "I don't want to get into hot or cold.
Whatever PM Wen Jiabao has said, I am satisfied with it." He said: "India and
China should have a strong relationship. Misunderstandings should be removed.
For this, I have invited him to India, and he has accepted my invitation. In the
very near future, he will come to India." On Friday, India and China expressed
their resolve to further their relations through dialogue. Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao instructed their officials to "work their
way through" all difficult issues. The two leaders met for 45 minutes on the sidelines
of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit here. Premier Wen
said he would visit India before the year-end. He suggested that both sides reach
a consensus on some major aspects to lay the foundation for the visit. Both leaders
directed their Special Representatives -- Shiv Shankar Menon and Dai Bingguo to
address all issues, including the boundary question, with a "sense of urgency,"
with Dr. Singh highlighting the need for both sides to be sensitive to each other's
core issues. On Friday, the National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon told

the end of November and added that he and Dai Bingguo had been given clear directions
on how the two leaders wanted them to resolve all difficult issues.
