October 20th, 2011 - 12:50 am ICT by IANS
On Board Air India One, Oct 19 (IANS) Prime minister Manmohan Singh said while problems did exist between India and China on a host of issues, he was hopeful all these will be overcome since the top leadership in Beijing also believed so.
“India and China are neighbours. We have problems. The border problem is a long standing problem. But it is my sincere hope it is possible for us to find ways and means by which the two neighbours can live in peace and amity,” he said.
“Despite the persistence of the border problem, our both countries have agreed that peace and tranquility should be maintained along the border,” he said while speaking to journalists on board his special aircraft.
“Overall our relations are quite good,” he added, replying to a question on the threat perception from China while returning after a day-long summit among the leaderships of India, Brazil and South Africa in Pretoria Tuesday.
“I have good working relations with President Hu Jintao, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao. I am convinced that the top leadership of China wants peaceful resolution of all problems that exist between India and China.
