China and India must avoid friction    Letter Published in The National ,Uae on 28April 13

The report China denies its troops have crossed into India's territory (April 24) is disturbing. Tension has flared up between the two countries because of border incursions.

Chinese troops entered the Indian territory twice recently despite warnings from the Indian authorities. The Chinese government has also refused to acknowledge those incursions.

These activities only embitter relations. It would be better for both countries to stay away from such activities for the sake of peace.
