Litmus test awaits for PM Modi in China

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit this week will focus on cementing India's relationship with China by leveraging on their growing trade and economic ties, even as the two countries grapple with contentious issues of boundary and strategic regional rivalry. Serious differences continue to prevail on the border issue even as both sides are making efforts to ensure that peace and tranquillity prevails, officials said here ahead of Modi's three-visit to China beginning on May 14.
