NEW DELHI – Just weeks after a military stand-off between China and India in the Himalays, leaders of India and China have agreed to study new ways to ease tensions along their ill-defined border. Chinese Premier, Li Keqiang, on his first foreign trip since taking office, met with India’s Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, in New Delhi  to offer a "handshake across the Himalayas" . Li said the world's most populous nations could become a new engine for the global economy if they could avoid such irritants.
