NewsX: Chinese Premier Li Keqiang arrived here Sunday on a three-day state visit, his first overseas trip after assuming office in March, during which he will hold talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on a string of issues including the recent border row.
Li, who touched down late Sunday afternoon, was received by Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed at Palam airport's Air Force Station, where VVIP flights land.
From India, Li will go to Pakistan, Switzerland and Germany. He is in India at the invitation of Manmohan Singh.
Li's visit comes days after a Sino-Indian border stand-off was resolved. A platoon of Chinese troops intruded about 19 km inside the Line of Actual Control (LAC) - the disputed boundary - April 15 and pitched tents.
