India’s relations with China are on a strong footing and one should not be “over-sensitive” about it,External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said today.

“Well,let us not be over-sensitive about our relations with China. The relationship between India and China are on a strong footing,” Krishna told reporters accompanying him on his way back home from Sri Lanka.

He was responding to a question whether relations between India and China were witnessing trouble again in the backdrop of recent incidents like Indian traders being held in China and reports that Beijing refused to give visa to a member from Arunachal Pradesh who was part of an Indian military delegation visiting the country.
