Dixit in Beijing for border talks

By P. S. Suryanarayana

SINGAPORE, NOV. 17. The National Security Adviser and India's special representative for talks on the boundary dispute with China, J.N. Dixit, arrived in Beijing today to participate in the fourth round of parleys.

Official sources in Beijing said formal talks between Mr. Dixit and China's special representative, Dai Bingguo, who is also the executive Vice-Foreign Minister, would begin tomorrow.

The ongoing process is designed to "explore, from the political perspective of the overall bilateral relationship, the framework of a boundary settlement," as spelt out in the joint statement issued in Beijing in June last year, following the talks that the then Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, held withChinese leaders.

Troop cut welcomed

In an indirect reference to India's latest troop reduction in Jammu and Kashmir, China said, "we welcome and support any moves that help enhance mutual trust and relax relations between India and Pakistan."
