New York: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao on Wednesday agreed to expand cooperation in civilian uses of nuclear energy and voiced satisfaction over the progress in resolving the vexed boundary dispute plaguing bilateral ties. Singh and Wen held an hour meeting at the Waldorf Hotel where the Indian Prime Minister is staying.
The meeting took place amid some tension in bilateral ties in the wake of attempts by China to block a consensus on the India-specific waiver at the NSG meet in Vienna earlier this month. During their talks, the two Prime Ministers agreed on expanding bilateral cooperation in civilian uses of nuclear energy, an issue which has figured during high-level exchanges between the two Asian giants.
Touching on the contentious boundary dispute, the two sides described it as a "complicated" issue, Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon told reporters after the meeting. He said that Singh and Wen expressed satisfaction over the progress in resolving the border question. (PTI) |
