Chinese journalists meet Krishna - India News and Travel Times Provides India-centric and other News and Features

A seven-member Chinese media delegation comprised of some of the leading opinion makers in China met External Affairs Minister SM Krishna here on Monday to explore ways to build better understanding between the two countries. They discussed various topics of mutual interest. Tensions have risen between India and China in the last few months over reports in the Indian media about border intrusions by the Chinese army. A visit by the Dalai Lama to the disputed Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, which China considers to be south Tibet, has added to the mistrust between the neighbours. The details of whether boots actually crossed borders are murky, but experts in both countries agree that tensions have risen, highlighting the fragility of relations between the giant neighbours jostling for dominance.
