China said on Tuesday negotiating a settlement of its border disputes with India was an “arduous and complex” task, but added it was willing to work for a wider regional cooperation to achieve peace in South Asia.
The world’s two most populous nations are forging new ties amid soaring trade and business links, although serious differences remain over their Himalayan border, the cause of a 1962 war.
India has also been pursuing closer relations with the United States, identifying a civilian nuclear deal as the cornerstone of that friendship, a worrying development for China.
