Beijing (AFP) Sept 16, 2008 Chinese and Indian officials will meet in Beijing this week for the latest round of talks on their decades-old Himalayan border dispute, an official here said on Tuesday. Chinese diplomat Dai Bingguo will hold talks with Indian national security adviser M.K. Narayanan on Thursday and Friday, foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told reporters. India says China occupies 38,000 square kilometres (14,700 square miles) of its Himalayan territory, while Beijing claims the whole of the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, which is 90,000 square kilometres. India and China have so far held 11 rounds of talks on the issue. Chinese foreign minister Yang Jiechi visited India last week for talks on the border row, which triggered a brief but bloody war in 1962. Efforts to resolve the dispute come amid stepped-up political and trade contact between the world's two most populous nations, with China now India's second-largest trading partner.
