AFP, October 24, 2009
HUA HIN, Thailand — Chinese premier Wen Jiabao and his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh held "productive" talks in Thailand Saturday but did not discuss their ongoing diplomatic spat, an official said.
The pair met on the sidelines of a regional summit in the coastal resort of Hua Hin grouping the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan.
At the bilateral talks, which lasted 45 minutes, there was a "good discussion, a productive meeting and they agreed to further strategic and co-operative partnership", an Indian delegation official told AFP.
Wen and Singh also sought to "build trust and understanding", the official added, but he said they did not discuss the disputed Indian border state of Arunachal Pradesh or the Dalai Lama's upcoming visit there.
Beijing has voiced its opposition to next month's trip planned by the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, as well as a recent visit by Singh to the border state while he was on the campaign trail before local elections.
The two nations fought a war in 1962 in which Chinese troops advanced deep into the border state and inflicted heavy casualties on Indian troops.
