Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today told Chinese President Xi Jinping that "peace and tranquility" at the border is imperative and that all issues as agreed earlier should be resolved.

Dr Singh said it was encouraging to see an expansion of relationship which is going to prove important for manufacturing and infrastructure work that is already being done.

The former PM made these remarks when a Congress delegation led by Sonia Gandhi met with Xi.

"Both countries are putting due emphasis on important areas of development. He (Dr Singh) further remarked that peace and tranquility on border is imperative and we have to remain fully committed to it as these were guiding principles," a statement released by the Congress said.
