PM visiting China from Oct 22, border pact likely

The Prime Minister will also meet President Xi Jinping and National People's Congress Chairman Zhang Dejiang, it said.



The BDCA is expected to be signed during the Prime Minister's visit, sources said here.

They said there are still certain differences over the modalities of some of the new CBMs agreed upon between the two sides including a hotline to be established between the two militaries but they are expected to be kept in abeyance for the time being.

The two sides are understood to have agreed upon setting up a hotline between the two militaries but so far, there is no agreement over the officers who would talk to each other from either side.

India had proposed a hotline between the Director Generals of Military Operations but the Chinese side is understood to have conveyed that they do not have any such designation in their Army.
