India to restore full defence cooperation with China

Sanya (China): After a pause, India is set to restore full defence cooperation with China, with a high-level military delegation expected to come here in June and an in-principle agreement reached for setting up a mechanism for consultations and coordination on border affairs.
The decisions were arrived at during a 50-minute meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Hu Jintao here where the Indian leader also voiced concern over the growing trade imbalance in favour of China, evoking an assurance that it would be addressed.
During the “very productive, warm and friendly” meeting, Singh and Hu launched the ‘Year of India-China Exchanges in 2011’, National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon told reporters.
