BEIJING: China on Tuesday expressed astonishment at Indian media reports alleging that its troops intruded into Indian territory last week, with a senior official expressing the hope that both Beijing and New Delhi could find a mutually acceptable solution to the boundary dispute based on the political guidelines reached last month. ``I feel astonished at your question because of some mixed information. I don't think that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) will enter Indian territory,'' Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan told reporters. He was asked about a report, which appeared in the Internet edition of an Indian daily. ``As for the specifics you mentioned, I have to further confirm it,'' he said. ``I think we have very good momentum for our bilateral relations, especially the visit by Chinese Premier, which was a very successful one during which the two sides established a political guideline to settle the boundary issue,'' Mr. Kong said at a biweekly news briefing. The political guiding principles to settle the issue were reached with effort from both sides. ``With this in mind, we can start our boundary negotiation with mutual understanding and seek a solution which is acceptable to both parties.'' The report said a Chinese Army patrol allegedly intruded deep into Indian territory and stayed there for close to 24 hours. The border violation took place in Asafila area of the Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh, it said, adding the incident occurred in the same area where on June 26, 2003, a Chinese Army team allegedly intruded into India, stripped intelligence officials of weapons and held them hostage for several hours. — PTI
