Amid recriminations on border issues, Chinese premier Wen Jiabao has shown keen interest in meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Thailand next week.
He indicated his interest to Petroleum Minister Murli Deora who met the Chinese leader during his visit to Beijing to attend a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meet on Wednesday.
"He (Jiabao) asked if Manmohan Singh will be going to Thailand next week to which I replied yes. Twice or thrice he said he is looking forward to meeting Manmohan Singh (in Thailand)," Deora told reporters here after his return.
Singh will be travelling to Thailand on October 24 to attend the ASEAN Summit.
China's objection to Singh's recent visit to Arunachal led to a war of words between the two countries
