Chinese Premier Li Keqiang (R) and India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wave towards the media during Li's ceremonial reception at the forecourt of India's presidential palace Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi in this May 20, 2013 file photo. Li, smiling and effusive, was out to smooth ruffled feathers in India this week, promising to ease tensions and increase trade between Asia's fastest growing economies in his first trip overseas since taking office. China's overtures, which come amid worries in Beijing that it is being encircled by the United States and its allies, however met with a cool response in New Delhi. India has been shaken by a recent border spat with China and is cautious about Beijing's friendship with rival Pakistan, where Li flies on May 22, 2013. New Delhi is also concerned about a ballooning trade deficit with China and a flood of cheap Chinese-made goods outpricing local manufacturers. REUTERS/Adnan Abidi/Files (INDIA - Tags: POLITICS) less
