| India's Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid has confirmed he will visit China on May 9 amid high tensions over a flare-up at the disputed border in Ladakh.
"I believe we have a mutual interest and we should not destroy years of contribution we have put together," Mr Khurshid said. "I think it is a good thing that we are having a dialogue."
It is unclear if the trip is part of scheduled preparations for a visit by the newly installed Chinese Premier Li Keqiang who, according to some reports, is expected in New Delhi on May 20 for his first overseas trip.
A platoon of Chinese troops moved into Indian territory on April 15 in Ladakh while two Chinese helicopters provided cover, violating Indian airspace.
India has asked for the Chinese soldiers to withdraw, but meetings between local army commanders and diplomats from both sides have failed to resolve the stand-off
