Indo-China border talks postponed indefinitely

New Delhi: The border talks between India and China scheduled to commence on Monday have been indefinitely postponed. Sources said that some demands by the Chinese side, which were regarded as unacceptable by India, led to the postponement of the 15th round of talks on the long-pending boundary problem.

Chinese Special Representative Dai Bingguo was to travel to Delhi for talks with his Indian counterpart Shivshankar Menon.

The scheduled meeting was a follow up on the talks held in the 14th round in Beijing in November last year.

Indian Ambassador to China, Jaishankar, who was scheduled to be present for the talks, will still be coming to New Delhi despite the postponement.
