China, India To Set
Up Hot Line For Leaders
China
and India have agreed to set up a hot line linking their top
leaders.
The agreement setting up the hot line was signed during a visit
to China by Indian External Affairs Minister, S.M. Krishna.
Chinese Foreign Minister, Yang Jiechi, however, did not comment
on the hot line at the signing.
Both countries have a growing military rivalry and lingering
territorial disputes along their border.
Krishna is visiting China to take part in celebrations marking
the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the
countries.
