China-india Trade

Ancient temples carved into massive rock faces along the ocean will form the backdrop to Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's informal talks aimed at resetting ties strained by border disputes and trade tensions.

India has been pressing China to open up its huge IT market for Indian tech firms.

Amid increasing strain in Sino-India ties, China has proposed a four-point initiative to overcome differences and deepen relations which includes aligning its 'One Belt One Road' project with India's 'ActEast Policy' and restarting negotiations on a free trade pact.

Hailing India for keeping a "neutral stand" over the South China Sea despite pressure from the US and Japan, state-run Chinese media today said there are some contradictions and frictions between the two nations, but the overall bilateral relations have been developing smoothly.

Deep in the Himalayas some three miles above sea level, Indian security forces and Chinese soldiers gaze at each other through a barbed-wire fence while trucks carrying goods from both sides pass through a large iron gate that marks the border.
