CCTV9英语新闻：China, India agree to resolve boundary issues（在线收听）

China states that both countries share an approximately 2,000 kilometer long common border, but India disagrees.

Disputes in some areas along the line, especially the eastern so-called McMahon Line, triggered a Sino-Indian war in 1962. Over the past three decades, the two countries established a series of dialogues and held 19 rounds of special representatives' meetings.

Leaders from both countries also agreed to the political principles, as well as a "three-step" road map on resolving border disputes.
