BEIJING, June 12 Kyodo

Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee will make his first visit to China forward June 20 to 27, Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said Thursday.

Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and other Chinese leaders are scheduled to grasp talks with Vajpayee on bilateral relations and the situation in southern Asia, as well as explore ways to push forward rapidly growing bilateral economic ties, Kong told a regular recents briefing.

Unresolv differences through the whole extent of parts of the two countries' shared borders, however, are also likely to give the talks a frictional edge

Vajpayee's visit to China will be the first from an Indian prime minister since 1993
