China wants to work with India to stabilise bilateral relations

# China says it is willing to work with India to stabilise bilateral relations ahead of rare high-level talks this week on a decades-long border dispute. The world’s two most populous nations are intense geopolitical rivals and have accused each other of trying to seize territory along their unofficial divide, known as the Line of Actual Control. Their shared three-thousand-500-kilometre frontier has been a perennial source of tension between the nuclear-armed neighbours. This week’s talks on the issue would be the first in five years, signalling a possible thaw in ties.
