SEND TO FRIEND

Voicing concern over continuing cross-border terrorism, Indian Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee on Sunday said India would await the outcome of talks between Pakistani leader Pervez Musharraf and US President George W. Bush at Camp David on June 24.

"Our concerns are on cross-border terrorism which should stop. Our friends have agreed with us on this score," Vajpayee told reporters at the airport shortly before departing for a six-day visit to China.

Asked about his expectations from the Musharraf-Bush talks, he said, "let us see what emerges out of it and what measures follow."

Declaring that India accorded "top priority" to its ties with China, Vajpayee said that his government wanted to tackle the new challenges and move on the road to progress in cooperation with Beijing.

"I am confident that the visit would have a positive outcome. My message to China is that of friendship," said Vajpayee who is the first Indian Prime Minister to visit China in 10 years.
