Beijing: India and China today vowed to seek a 'political' solution to the boundary issue and proactively resolve it as early as possible amid Prime Minister Narendra Modi's emphasis that the dispute should not prevent progress in ties which have been 'complex' in the recent decades.

Modi asked China to 'reconsider' its approach on some matters, like visa policy towards residents of Arunachal Pradesh, as he asserted that the two nations have a 'historic responsibility' to turn the relationship into 'a source of strength for each other and a force of good for the world.'
