At a meeting between Defence Minister A K Antony and his counterpart from China Gen Liang Guanglie, India is understood to have flagged concerns over the presence of Chinese soldiers in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK).

The Chinese side talked about US plans to shift majority of its military power to Asia Pacific region in which it wants India to be a "lynchpin".

The steps by the two countries to boost defence ties and confidence-building measures were announced after crucial talks here between Antony and Gen Liang, the first Chinese Defence Minister to visit India in eight years.

Antony, who termed the delegation-level talks as "very fruitful", said he has accepted the invitation by Liang to visit Beijing next year. (More)
