China has said India should show through deeds its willingness to maintain peace at the border and claimed that 48 Indian soldiers were at Doklam area backed by a "large number" of troops at the border to halt Chinese attempts to build a road on its side of the boundary.

China is "positive" towards proposals to establish a military hotline with India to deal with issues along the border, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar was told during a meeting in Beijing with his Chinese counterpart, state media reported.

Indian and Chinese military commanders today met at one of the highest airstrips in the world, Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) in Ladakh, making it the fifth border meeting point between the two sides.

China today reacted strongly to reports that India plans to build a 2000-km long road in Arunachal Pradesh, asking Delhi not to "further complicate" the dispute over the border.

Notwithstanding border dispute and visa row, India and China on Monday projected a positive outlook of their relations, with China saying that the rise of the two countries together was "irreversible" which no force can stop even as some countries are trying to "drive a wedge".
