China, India sign border cooperation agreement
China and India signed a confidence-building accord Wednesday
to cooperate on border defense following a standoff between armed forces of the
two Asian giants in 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. Relations between the nations are overshadowed
by a half-century-old border dispute over which they fought a brief but bloody
war in 1962.
