China, India sign border cooperation agreement

BEIJING: China and India signed a confidence-building accord Wednesday, to cooperate on border defence following a standoff between armed forces of the two Asian giants in the disputed Himalayan territory earlier this year.

The agreement followed a meeting in Beijing between Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who also had trade ties on the agenda as India seeks to gain greater access to Chinese markets and attract more inbound Chinese investment.

At present, trade between the two sides is heavily skewed in China’s favour. With growing economies and a combined population of 2.5 billion, the two neighbours have set a target of $100 billion in bilateral trade by 2015, up from $61.5 billion last year.

  1. Pakistan has more chance relative to China. Unfortunately our military brass never allowed it to progress. Import and export of terrorists never pay. China has never been alleged for any such activity in side India. Can Pakistan learn lesson from it.

  2. Chinese are just securing their south west territory in order to concentrate more on their eastern waters, they know how to defend and fight, a martial art nation. Good Luck dragon!
