India, China to discuss issues of conflict during ASEAN summit |
Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao on Friday said that that issues of conflict
between India and China will be discussed during the bilateral meet between the
leaders of both the countries on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Thailand
. “Well the bilateral relationship that we have with China will obviously be in
focus during the forthcoming meeting between our Prime Minister and Chinese Premiere
Wen Jiabao in Thailand . And this is a relationship that is, that has developed
in many many areas in recent years,” Rao said. “It's also a relationship that
is a complex one, you are aware of the outstanding issues that remain to be resolved
between India and China and obviously in meetings of this nature especially the
meetings between the leadership at the highest level there is an opportunity to
address all these issues,” she added. Rising tensions were evident recently when
China tried to block an Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan to Arunachal Pradesh
and objected to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to the state. Commenting
on the scheduled visit of Tibetan spiritual guru Dalai Lama in Arunachal Pradesh
next month, Rao said: “I have said this before and the Government has said this
before that His holiness, the Dalai Lama, is respected religious and spiritual
figure.” “The Tibetan community in India is not expected to undertake any political
activity, that is our consistent position. And we also said that Dalai Lama is
free to travel anywhere in India ,” she added. |
