India and China share a desire for early resolution of all outstanding issues, including the boundary question, said President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday at a banquet hosted in honour of the visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

“We are both committed to the maintenance of peace and tranquillity at our borders; we both would like to ensure that the dialogue mechanisms that we have created for this purpose are error-proof. It is important for us to improve the dialogue and co-operative engagement between our two militaries and constantly strive to enhance the communication between them at all levels,” Mr. Mukherjee said. He told the visiting dignitary that the latter's visit comes at a time when India and China are looking forward to a new era in their bilateral relations.

Mr. Mukherjee said as a neighbour, India would be happy to see China continue on its path of robust economic growth and productivity.
