中印達成防務合作協議
Longtime regional competitors China and India have agreed to strengthen defense cooperation along their disputed, and sometimes tense, Himalayan border.
The confidence building agreement was signed Wednesday in Beijing following a meeting by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.
Prime Minister Singh said the defense cooperation pact will help ensure the India-China relationship is not further strained by the decades-old border dispute, which flared up in April.
In April, India accused Chinese troops of setting up a camp that was at least 10 kilometers inside territory claimed by India. China denied that troops had crossed into Indian territory.中國和印度已經同意在有爭議的喜馬拉雅山脈邊界地帶加強防務合作。長期以來，中印兩國一直是地區競爭對手。
印度總理辛格與中國總理李克強舉行會談後，雙方星期三在北京簽署了有關協議。
辛格說，這項防務合作協議將有助於確保印中兩國關係不會因數十年來的邊界爭端而進一步緊張化。
今年4月，中印邊界爭端激化。印度指責中國軍隊在印度宣稱擁有主權的地區縱深至少10公里處設立營地。北京否認中國軍隊進入印度領土。
