MOSCOW/NEW YORK -- In the first high-level ministerial contact since a deadly border skirmish in June, Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe and Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh met in Moscow on the sidelines of a regional summit Friday to discuss reducing tensions.
India and China have mobilized entire divisions of troops, backed by armor, artillery, gunships and even fighter jets, in the largest mobilization in the region since the countries went to war in 1962 over disputed territory in the western Himalayas.
