Guard of honour for General Liang Guanglie
China's Defence Minister General Liang Guanglie inspects the honour guard after his meeting with his Indian counterpart A K Antony in New Delhi on September 4. A rare visit to India by China's Liang should help avoid flare-ups along the border between the nuclear-armed Asian giants at a time when Beijing is grappling with a change of leadership and friction in the South China Sea.
