New Delhi: China's influential state councillor Dai Bingguo on Sunday touched down in New Delhi for two-day talks on the festering boundary issue and is expected to seal a landmark border mechanism that seeks to prevent flare-ups arising from misperceptions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
The visit of Dai, China's special representative on the boundary question with India who is known to be close to Chinese President Hu Jintao, comes amid the backdrop of a host of differences between the two Asian giants.
Dai will hold the 15th round of boundary talks with National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon, also India's special representative, on Monday and Tuesday with a view to firming up a framework that in turn will form the basis for delineating the border on the map.
The two special representatives are also expected to flesh out the details of a pact on the border mechanism that is expected to be signed on Tuesday.
The border mechanism, an important confidence building measure, will facilitate real-time contact in case of violations of the LAC. It is expected to be headed by the joint secretary (east Asia) in the ministry of external affairs and the Chinese director-general of the department of boundary and ocean affairs.
