Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping Thursday agreed to resolve the border dispute quickly and demarcate the Line of Actual Control to improve peace and cooperation between both countries.
Addressing the media after the conclusion of one-on-one meeting with visiting Chinese president Xi Jinping, Modi said India is concerned about the frequent incursions along the border. The Line of Actual Control should be demarcated soon to ensure peace and cooperation in the area, he said.
President Xi responded by saying that China will work to settle the border issue at the earliest date. Since the border is not demarcated there will be some incidents, but both countries are capable of settling it at various levels so that they won't have a bigger impact, Xi said.
The latest incident India was referring to to was the Chinese army reportedly made a fresh incursion in Chumar area and refusing to return, even as talks between both the leaders were on.
