President Patil met President Hu Jintao; the First Visit in Ten Years by an Indian Head of State to China

A very significant visit by the Indian President to China this week, and it seems that no nicety has been spared.

India needs China's support in her bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
I met the Indian President on my visit to Delhi recently, she was loquacious and answered all my questions at length.
