Itanagar: The perceptional differences between India and China on disputed pockets along the border should be discussed by government representatives at the highest levels, said Arunachal Pradesh Governor (Retd) Gen J J Singh on Saturday.

While responding to the news clippings displayed yesterday on some TV news channels which have attributed certain comments on the resolution of Indo-China border dispute through give-and-take and the non-negotiable status of Arunachal Pradesh by the Governor said in a release.

The govornor’s views have been purportedly taken from a speech that he had made at an intellectual seminar which was organised by an academic forum at Rajiv Gandhi University, Itanagar on March 8 and 9 last.

‘Our relations with China assume great importance for the overall peace, progress and development of the region,’ the release said.

‘We have an ongoing strategic and co-operative partnership in place which began with the historic visit of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi to China in 1988 laying the foundations of a much more vibrant relationship between the two nations, the retired Gen added, saying the visit by Prime Minister Vajpayee in 2003 followed by the appointment of special representatives to solve the border issue has given a further thrust to the same.

Successive governments at the Centre, across the board and irrespective of party affiliations have always advocated a peaceful settlement of the border dispute in a pragmatic and mature manner, through mutual understanding and through dialogue to discuss the disputed areas.(UNI)
