In May 1980, October 1981 and October 1985, Chinese and Indian prime ministers took the chance of international summits to meet each other in Belgrade, Cancun and New York, respectively. In June 1981, Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Huang Hua visited India, reaching an understanding on issues of common concern. From 1981-1988, Indian and Chinese officials held nine rounds of negotiation to resolve border issues. These negotiations, though failed to settle border issues, played a positive role in improving mutual relationship and promoting cultural exchange.
