Seeking to put behind the recent verbal spat between India and China over Arunachal Pradesh, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his counterpart Wen Jiabao agreed to build trust and understanding and strengthen the bilateral strategic ties.
However, issues like Arunachal Pradesh and the Dalai Lama did not figure during the talks between the two Prime Ministers who met on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in this Thai beach resort, highly-placed sources said.
The two leaders began their meeting at Dusit Thani hotel with a warm handshake. The scheduled 45-minute meeting spilled over to almost an hour.
In his opening remarks, Wen said "we want to have a healthy and steady relationship with India," according to the sources.
Wen described Singh as an "old friend" and recalled their several previous meetings. "In the years ahead we are confident that we will have good relations," he said.
