India, China can solve border row: Li

Reiterating his belief that India and China should ‘shake hands across the Himalayas’, visiting Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Tuesday said both countries ‘have the wisdom’ to find a ‘fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution’ to their festering boundary problem.

Li, addressing a talk organised by FICCI and the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) at the Taj Palace Hotel here, also pushed for greater economic integration between the two Asian giants and combining the strengths of their 2.5 billion people to make an impact on the global scene.

He said he had ‘candid and friendly talks’ with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on a wide range of issues, and both sides were ‘satisfied’ with the talks.

On the boundary issue, which saw a three-week stand off between their troops earlier this month, Li said both sides had agreed to push forward negotiations.
