"The special representatives have worked hard and arrived at the political parameters and guiding principles for a boundary resolution. In the present stage of their negotiations, they are seeking a framework for a boundary resolution. I support the work done by the special representatives of the two sides. This is not an easy issue and will take time to resolve," he said.
He said both the governments of India and China are committed to maintaining peace and tranquility in the India-China border areas and this is an important guarantor and a fundamental basis for further progress and growth in bilateral ties.
"The leadership of the two countries is united on this issue. As long as we follow the principles and procedures set out in the Agreements of 1993, 1996 and 2005, expand and improve upon them where necessary to take into account the changing reality of India and China and enhance dialogue and friendly exchanges between our border troops."
"I am confident that the strategic consensus between leaders will continue to be reflected on the ground," the prime minister said.
