Chinese Foreign Minister Wng Yi (L) and Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj shake hands as Chinese President Xi Jinping (2L) and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (BACK-R) look on following the signing of an agreement to open a new route for Indian pilgrimages to the Tibet Autonomous Region in New Delhi on September 18, 2014. India's prime minister expressed concern to China's visiting President Xi Jinping September 18 about "incidents" on the two countries' disputed border, as a stand-off between troops at the frontier overshadowed key talks. "I expressed concern on the incidents on the border and said peace and tranquility on the border is the foundation for good relations," said Prime Minister Narendra Modi after formal talks with the Chinese leader.

Beijing: China on Tuesday told the US to stop interfering in Tibet after the American envoy advised Beijing to hold talks with Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama who is living in India.
In a rare visit to Tibet last week, US Ambassador to China Terry Branstad advised the Chinese government officials to hold talks with the spiritual leader and slammed Beijing for cracking down on religious freedom in the restive region. China, which sees the 14th Dalai Lama as a secessionist, reacted angrily on expected lines.
