Wen India visit follows another in China by the Indian President Pratibha Patil, in May - the first by a head of the Indian State in a decade - and comes in the wake of a 14th round of discussions on disputed border.

It marks the latest attempt to redefine relations long beset by mutual suspicion and natural rivalry which takes account of nations of first and second most populated in the world.

"The leaders of our two countries have agreed that there is sufficient space around the world to China and the India to jointly develop and there are enough areas for China and the India to cooperate with others," Chinese Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Hu Zhengyue said a statement Monday.

The most blatant disagreement remains border China-India remote, mountainous, on which the two fought a brief but brutal war in 1962. The two do not yet have a commonly designated line control and a resolution is not planned in the near future.

The India is also deeply suspicious of Chinese ties with rival Pakistan as well as the Chinese Navy growing presence in the Indian Ocean and ties in Beijing now governing Nepal Maoist parties.

For its part, China occupies the presence in India the self-proclaimed Tibetan Government in exile headed by the leader of the Buddhist Himalayan region, the Dalai Lama, who fled the border in the middle of an abortive uprising against Chinese rule in 1959. Beijing last year angrily protested a visit by the Dalai Lama week in the State in the northeast of Arunachal Pradesh, which it claims is the Chinese territory. China, meanwhile, occupies part of Kashmir claimed by the India.
