ASEAN Summit: PM meets Chinese Premiere Jiabao

Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh today held delegation-level talks with his Chinese counterpart, Wen Jiabao and sought greater investment and infrastructure collaborations, on the sidelines of the 21st summit of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The meeting in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, was held against the backdrop of India's concerns over increasing imbalance in trade and also, lack of market access to certain sectors in China markets. This is the 14th meeting between the two leaders in the last eight years. Singh said that the Chinese premier's visits to India have helped to build a strong foundation of trust and friendship between the two nations.
