Special representatives from China and India will meet in Beijing from Friday to Saturday to discuss border issues, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi and Indian National Security Adviser Shiv Shankar Menon will attend the boundary talks, known as the 16th meeting between special representatives on Sino-Indian border issues, according to spokeswoman Hua Chunying.

China and India share a 2,000-k.m. border, which has never been formally delimited. The two began discussing border issues in the 1980s.
