Free Tibet movement spreads

Mar. 21 - Students march in India as the Free Tibet movement spreads - to the embarrassment of China.

Last week a group of about 100 marchers were detained by police on orders of the Indian government, but a second group, which picked up the route from where the first group was stopped, has been allowed to go ahead. The marchers are planning to get to Tibet via New Delhi, where they hope to coincide with the arrival of the Olympic torch as it passes through the Indian capital.

India PM seeks stronger China ties

Jan. 15 - There is enough space in Asia for both countries, but the world's two most populous countries must work together says India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on visit in China.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is on a three day state visit to China, intent on warming Sino-Indian ties. But the neighbours must first break down historic wariness over China's traditional friendship with Indian rival Pakistan and growing ties with the U.S.A. and a decades-long border dispute that flared into a brief war in 1962.
