A day after he met his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao here on the sidelines of the ASEAN-India and East Asia Summits and talked about the border row, Singh said Foreign Ministers of the two countries would discuss the problem in detail when they meet in Bangalore on Tuesday.
Addressing a press conference before winding up his two-day visit here, the Prime Minister said he had discussed with Wen all issues, including the boundary question, problems concerning common rivers and matters related to Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.
"All issues were discussed," he said about his meeting with Wen in the backdrop of war of words over Arunachal Pradesh and some other issues like the Dalai Lama's proposed visit to the state.
"Boundary problem is a complex issue and cannot be wished away," Singh said, adding "pending solution of the boundary question, both countries have an obligation to maintain peace and tranquility along the borders."
Contrary to the information provided by the Indian side after the Singh-Wen meeting yesterday that the Dalai Lama issue did not figure in the talks, the Prime Minister himself said he had told his Chinese counterpart that the Dalai Lama is an "honoured guest" of India.
"I explained to Premier Wen that Dalai Lama is our honoured guest and he is a religious leader," Singh said.
At the same time, he said "we do not allow Tibetan refugees to indulge in political activities and proof of that is that we took resolute action against some Tibetans during Olympics (torch relay) last year following reports that some Tibetan refugees might create problems."
To a question on the Dalai Lama's proposed visit to Arunachal next month to which China has objected, Singh said he was not aware of the Tibetan spiritual leader's plans. The Prime Minister said he had also raised with Wen issues related to common rivers, like water-sharing and reported construction of dam by China on Brahmaputra river.

While asking for DIGITAL METER APPERAS TO BE ALRIGHT, NOT MANY UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC BEHIND THE GREEN COLOR FOR AUTOS.IF MINISTER'S LOGIC THAT GREEN SIGNIFIES BECOMING ENVORONMENT FRIENDLY, THEN THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTION COULD BE CONSIDERED BY THE MINISTER:#1.HE SHOULD PAINT HIS CAR GREEN.2.HE SHOLD SWITCH OVER TO GREEN COLOR DRESSES.3.ALL THE VEHICLES OF THE GOVERNMENT AND THE EMPLOYESS WHO ARE GETTING ALL THE BENEFITS FROM THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE GREEN. IF HE IS ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THESE FIRST BEFORE ASKING THE HAPELESS AUTO DRIVERS TO CHANGE THE COLOR, HE WILL SOUND MORE A DEMOCRATIC PERSON
Some of you have so rightly stated the facts. Dragon just like Pakis can NOT be trusted. Internationally we see Chinese to go from point A to B will do everything possible. They will push us 10 feet and concede 3 feet to get 7 feet advantage. PM is softy..just want to keep his slate clear. Unles we have Nationalistic Govy. we will loose if China attacks before.
The policy of any party in India is same. If BJP and other really disagreed with Nehru/Indira Gandhi, they would have done something about it during their rule. Arunachal stays and J
Who are you really? A blind man for one, any one can see that. But what is your game plan? A Congress plant, are you not? Your stupidity for Congress is disgusting. Can you not see the foundation was laid by Congress and all have to follow it? The spell is still so strong. We must change it, but you like to stick to the doggone stupid Congress philosophy? Shame on you, a smooth peddler just like any Congressi tout. You are beginning to get on everyone's nerves. But it does not matter to Congressis, does it now? Improve, my man, or perish.
Nee, Ven, You're braindead! If I'm getting on your nerves, it is your cynicism and irrational hate that bothers me.
First of all, you need to be educated ! Stupid men like you in Congress are causing more damage to this country than the enemy. Look at your mixed up argument leading nowhere. Typical Congress e-shtyle. And stop getting carried away by election win. Do you know the proverb: Nahi mamu se nakta mamu sahi? And yes, stop getting on our nerves.
looks like we lost Arunachal.Kashmir is a complex issue too!Ladakh has been getting complex.Border with B'desh is porous.Uttaranchal, Chhattisgadh are naxalite and undeveloped areas, it be in better hands of naxals.The Congress is going to sell away this country.
PM's office and PM both must read all the above messages from his countries people who elected him and all his cabinet. No present politicians wants to face the real TRUTH because they all have been sleeping for 60 years mistakes. Now China is knocking at every border post and we are simply scratching our brains. The truth is coming out in the open by the people of India. Beside making country strong internally and at the border we must as a country Start waking up the World at the UN/UNSC and bring China at the WORLD Court in Hague to make China think and back them off all the way to the WALL. Might is not Right and this one stinks.
China is nervous that India is catching up fast economically. Before, it had pakis for their proxy war which helped them distract us. Now that pakis are busy with self-destruction, China is taking direct action. China wants us to panic and thats exactly what you people (commenting here) seem to want too. First YOU wake up. All India has to do is maintain status quo. With satellites now, they can't do their cowardly sneak attack and run away like last time. Have faith in your country. Be concerned but don't take the eye off the economic development. That's what Chinese really want to hurt!
ABC, you are doing better,now. This post makes sense. I agree we should show solidarity among ourselves in this forum. But, the overall issue is the mindset of our leaders that is bothering everyone. And ignoring that you keep praising Congress, Nehru, PM and who not - all irresponsible in their times. These people in power will have to do what is necessary as you say above using satellite info and all. But the million $ question is why they do not show the least interest in moving along firm lines and giving correct signal to all our adversaries. That is our major concern. Keep up the good work and do not leave the sanctity of human decency. May be Pak is beginning to feel the crunch of its policy of enmity with India. It has to be properly exploited. But will it happen?
Never trust China, none, none of their actions in the past were favourable to India. Last four dormant years, probably to have peacefull Beijeng Olympics.India should have a Multi Prong strategy including offensive diplomacy and Stregthening Boarder.Nuclear issues, Adverse Trade Balance, Mao's Insurgency, Destroying only Hindu Kigdom-Nepal,Military buildup around India, Unstinted support to Pak an ideological rival(China Vs Pak)...etc are all with singleminded anti India.
India must work for peace with China, but continue to enlarge her armed forces, nuclear and conventional weapons on our borders. If Chinese still do not desire peace teach them a lesson. We now have the capability to do this.
can we trust DRAGON? NEVER NEVER NEVER.powerless congressi govt has tottaly failed to understand even more dangerous than DRAGON LIKE CHINA GOVT, from THE TIME OF RAHUL's great grand father JAWAHARLAL NEHRU.People of india has no other go but to see only the drama of congress and it,s powerless and puppet like PM.
Truly said but the same time its the most susceptible ignorants of India who time and again elect these unpatriotic goons of Congress and other most corrupt socalled politicians.They are power-hungry and money-monger Gundas.As long as illitracy and selfishness will dominant among masses India will/can never be a world power and a prosperous nation.The blunders committed by NehruGandhi clan will end into disintegration of the country if the trend continues.
What is wrong with Manmohan? Doesn't he know China. The Chinese are after attacking India and wants to capture our land. What complexity is he talking about? It is simple and straight Chinese wants to take Arunachal from us simple conquer a state of India and claim it to be theres. Simple and no complexity here. What makes complex for Manmohan is that he is not a strong leader if he were it would have been simple. Americans told Nehru beware of Chinese for they want your land, then Americans joined Chinese now everyone is worried, cause Chinese are coming to attack India. They are bored with their lives and they want more land, simple no complexity none whatsoever. Too bad we Indians like the courage to accept the hard facts that Chinese can never be our friends.
This statement is Dr. Singh's Himalayan blunder. There is only one way to deal with the chinese - be tough and do not give an inch. The Chinese are inclined to raise a hue and cry over things in the hope that the other party gives in. There is only one boundary issue here. China's boundaries need to be re-drawn to exclude Tibet. Tibet WAS never historically, culturally part of China.
If it is a hard problem, use your brain and intelligence Dr Singh PM. Stop your habit of going to Ms Sonia Gandhi for solution to every question, easy or complex. If you cannot handle complex solutions, please step down and allow some other congressi to take over, who can solve complex solutions easily! People of India expect you to solve complex solutions in five years, not allow it to hang for sixty years!!!
JP, while I agree with you in principle, border issue is at best sketchy. Arunachal borders were drawn by British and Ladakh by King of J
I don't understand why their is reluctance in the part of Indian leadership while dealing with China. Indian P.M. should take stern measures to protect the interest and pride of Indian people. If he can not, he must go paving the way for other strong leaders to do that job.
womanmoan sing, well done. complex issue implies that there must be give and take. i.e., congress can give away arunachal and also sell the tibetans, as has been the policy since the days of Mohammed Jawaher Lull Nehloo. In return he will get lots of yuans in HSBC and external support to congi government from CPI CPM Maowadies et al. Under directions of Sohniya Ghandangi, congis can utilise the services of Maowadies to even get more swami laxmanananda's out of the way to clear the way of great Saint Sohniya's Vatican-US agenda.
Yours is nothing but rant and no essence. You're idiot and ignorant. Nehru didn't own Tibetans to sell them. Only Nehru had the broadmindedness to shelter them in India, which precipitated 1962 war. Where were the Buddhist nations like Mangolia, Thailand and Japan? While we sympathize with Tibetans, we can't send our sons to fight in Tibet as Pakis do in Kashmir. Don't even dare criticize US! Arunachal would be long gone without US interference in 1962.
FIRST OF ALL WE INDIANS SHOULD LEARN TO RESPECT OUR NATIONAL LEADERS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN VOTED BY THE MAJORITY TO POWER. I AM ALSO AN N.R.I., AND THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE CAN CRITICIZE BY INSULTING OUR LEADERS. NOW I THINK THAT THE BORDER ISSUE IS NOT COMPLEX, BECAUSE CHINA IS THE ONE WHO HAS GRABBED INDIAN TERRITORY WHEN THEY INVADED INDIA IN 1962. I THINK THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT HAS TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT TO LAY OFF THEIR DIRTY HANDS OFF THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
The underlining reason that created the complexity to the issues with Bangladesh, China, Pakistan and other countries in the region is owing to complacency on the part of all the leaders since independence. They never took effective measures to counter the possible threats to the country from the neighbouring nations that are volatile or ruled by authoritarian rulers. The remedy this complexity is to strengthen the country's defence to the maximum as an effective treatment to neighbouring leaders who have "complex personality” problem.
"it cannot be "wished away"", Has Manmohan Singh made another goof ? Does he mean that Arunachal Pradesh is a disputed territory ? Please IE ask for explanation what he means by "wished away". It is important.
Yes,he has done and once again betrayed the Nation.Even before he left for SAARC meeting I predicted the same that he is going to degrade national prestige,pride and ego with another egregious folly.He is hoping for Nobel Price at the cost of vital interests of the country or say country itself.Just see on the front page photos of SAARC members,all other four are looking to each other for hand shakes but none to him.They too know how cheap and boot-licker he is that too of a person who knows nothing about country and that he is merely appointed Babu.Most respectless person weakening country with his every act(atleast he is doing some acts while first whole term he remained inert and unobtrusive).
Mr.Ramesh Sharma please learn to respect our Prime Minister, because he owes his post to the majority of Indians who had voted for his party to power, you are not only insulting the prime minister but you are also insulting the majority of Indians who voted the congress party to power, shame on you as an indian.
HOW COME BORDER ISSUE WITH CHINA COMPLEX WHEN ARUNACHAL PRADESH IS PART AND PARCEL OF INDIA ? WHAT ABOUT CHINA OCCUPING PART OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR ? MADMOHAN DON'T BULL SHIT TO PEOPLE OF INDIA AND N.R.I LIVING OVERSEAS . IT IS HIGH TIME YOU GIVE WAY FOR SOME BODY LIKE LATE SHREE LAL BHADUR SHASTRI - LATE SARDAR VALLABHBHAI PATEL - LATE SHUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE OR LIKE TO TAKE MANTLE AWAY FROM YOU PUPPET OF SONIA . SHAME . ANOTHER EGYPT HAS BEEN CREATED .
Indian PM and FM should stop farting in their pants whenever they talk to China. Why was the PM explaining to Chinese re Dalai Lama visit to an Indian state? He should have been protesting to Chinese for their interference. Mr PM stop making excuses and stop pissing and get on with the job that Indian people have given you do.
Until the complex border issue is resolved with China, I have taken a simple resolution: No purchase of any Chinese goods.
