China's foreign ministry has condemned Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the disputed northeastern border state of Arunachal Pradesh, saying it "resolutely opposes" activities by Indian leaders in the region. In response, the official spokesperson at India's foreign ministry said Arunachal Pradesh was "an integral and inalienable part of India". "Indian leaders visit Arunachal Pradesh from time to time, as they visit other parts of India. Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met a number of times last year to give impetus to trade discussions. But progress, according to Indian government officials and representatives of various Indian trade bodies, has been very slow.
