India names new negotiator to handle boundary dispute with China

India has appointed a new special representative for talks with China on their long-running boundary dispute, a government official said Friday.

National Security Adviser M. K. Narayanan succeeds J. N. Dixit, who died in January, an official in Narayanan's office said on condition of anonymity.

The border dispute centers on India's Arunachal Pradesh state and several other Indian border areas. In July 2000, the two agreed to expedite the border demarcation.

Arunachal Pradesh shares a 1,030-kilometer (650-mile) border with China's Tibet region. India and China signed agreements in the 1990s to respect the current boundary pending a final agreement.

Chinese and Indian forces fought a 21-day war in 1962. Their frosty relations began to warm in the 1980s, and overcame another downturn over India's 1998 nuclear tests.

Discussions on the border issue have been held since 1988, but it wasn't until 2003 that special negotiators were appointed by the two countries to accelerate talks.

The last meeting of the special negotiators was held in July in the Indian capital. China was represented by Executive Vice Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo.
