Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei has said China is ready to find fair, reasonable and suitable solutions to border issues with India ahead of an upcoming China-India meeting.

Hong made the remarks at a regular press briefing on Friday when asked to comment on informal dialogues on special border issues. Hong praised the peace and stability of Sino-Indian relations in recent years, and called for deepening cooperation.

The dialogues are to be held next week in China between Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo and Indian national security adviser Shiv Menon.
