(NSI News Source Info) BEIJING, China - August 28, 2010: China said on Saturday that military ties with India remained on track, despite a visa row that some reports said led to a freeze in defence contacts between the two big neighbours with sometimes testy relations.An Indian defence source and some Indian news media said on Friday that defence ties with China were suspended after Beijing refused a visa to an Indian general from disputed Kashmir, where Pakistan and China also hold territory.But the Indian Defence Minister A.K. Antony said "ties with China will continue", and now China's Ministry of Defence has also denied any freeze in ties with the Indian military.
"China has not suspended military exchanges with India, and nor has it received any notification from India of any such suspension," the press office of the Chinese ministry said in a statement faxed to Reuters.
India and China have limited military ties, focused on visits by military chiefs and defence officials and occasional, small joint exercises.
