On Board PM's Special Plane: Maintaining that the Chinese leadership wants peaceful resolution of all problems with India, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday said the two countries can live in peace and amity despite the border dispute.
"India and China are neighbours, we have problems, the border problem is a long-standing problem, but it is my sincere hope, it is possible for us to find ways and means by which the two neighbours can live in peace and amity despite the persistence of the border problem," he told journalists while replying to a question.
He noted that both the countries have agreed that peace and tranquillity should be maintained along the border and therefore, by and large, it was so.
"Sometimes something appears in the newspapers in our country, something appears in the newspapers in China. That I think invites comments. But overall our relations are quite good," Singh said when asked whether there was threat perception from China.
He said he has good working relations with President Hu Jintao, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and "I am convinced that the top leadership of China wants peaceful resolution of all problems that exist between India and China."
