By KTM Metro Reporter
July 7, 2010: Zeenews.com has quoted Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao that China and India are strategic partners and has said, "We will work with India to maintain high-level visits and take care of each other's core interests and major concerns," at the meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's special envoy and National Security Adviser Shiv Shankar Menon in Beijing on Monday, July 05, 2010.
Relationship between the People’s Republic of China and Republic of India has deteriorated since the Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama took a shelter in India after the unsuccessful uprising of Tibetans against the Chinese rule in Tibet in 1959.
India and China had gone to war in 1962 causing bitterness between the two Asian giant nations. Since then India has had never trusted the Chinese leaders despite many attempts to improve the relationship between the two countries.
In addition, the two countries have not resolved the border claims. India has been saying that China has encroached on its territory whereas China says those are their land encroached by the British invaders.
