India has said it does not visualise any conflict with China on border issues and that the two countries have agreed to resolve their differences through dialogue.

"It is true that we have differences with China on border. But, we have agreed to resolve them through dialogue," Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters in Scotland yesterday.

Both Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao had agreed to maintain peace and tranquillity on borders.

On October 24, Singh and Wen met on the margins of the ASEAN Summit in Thailand amid Chinese protests over Arunachal Pradesh and reached a consensus that the two neighbours should forge a strategic partnership.

 

India does not visualise any conflict on border issues with China, Mukherjee said, adding the bilateral trade between the two countries is expanding fast.

"We have institutional arrangements. There is Indo- China Joint Commission. They meet regularly... Any dispute could be resolved," he said.
