China on Saturday acknowledged the “core concerns” of India raised by visiting BJP president Nitin Gadkari and agreed that these issues should be resolved through peaceful negotiations and in a mutually acceptable manner. While the existing mechanisms and the government channels will try to resolve these issues, the political
parties in both the countries should help in creating an atmosphere and public opinion conducive to an early resolution of the mutual concerns, said Wang Jia Rui, the Chinese minister of international department and a member of the central committee of the Communist Party of China, during a meeting with Mr Gadkari and his party delegation. He had raised the recent practice of giving stapled visas for the people of AP and J&K wanting to visit China and Chinese development work in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. —IANS
