New Delhi, Aug 6 - Against the backdrop of Beijing's renewed claims to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India and China will Friday hold two-day talks here to finalise a framework for resolving their decades-old boundary dispute.

Chinese Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs Dai Bingguo will hold in-camera talks with National Security Adviser M.K. Narayanan, almost a year after they last met in Beijing in September 2008.

The 13th rounds of talks will take place against the backdrop of China's renewed assertions over Arunachal Pradesh, India's northeastern state that is claimed in entirety by both countries.

In March this year, China tried to block a development loan for India at the Manila-based Asian Development Bank on grounds that part of it was meant for Arunachal Pradesh, causing much disquiet in New Delhi.

Over the last year, Beijing has protested the visits by Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Pratibha Patil, to Arunachal Pradesh to reassert its territorial claim over the state.

This was quickly rejected by New Delhi that reiterated its claim and made it clear that Arunachal Pradesh was 'an integral part of India'.

The two special representatives are likely to focus on bridging the gap on the interpretation of political parameters and guiding principles over the next two days in Delhi.

The talks are aimed at arriving at a framework agreement for resolving the border question.

'The special representatives are discussing the boundary question and both countries have agreed to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable settlement to this issue,' External Affairs Minister S.
