from China's Foreign Ministry said.
The talks began from June 25. Special representatives of the two
countries are Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo and
India's National Security Adviser M. K. Narayanan.
Officials with the ministry said the special representatives had
exchanged views on the framework of resolving the boundary question
in a friendly and frank atmosphere.
The two sides agreed to hold the next round of talks in New
Delhi, capital of India. The timing will be decided through
diplomatic channels.
The Indian guests are visiting China from June 24 to 28. During
their stay in China, they visited Xi'an, capital of northwest
China's Shaanxi Province. Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing also
met with them.
The talks on boundary question between special representatives
of ministerial level started in New Delhi in October 2003.
