New Delhi: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.
