Bangalore , April 10

BUT for a minor commotion caused by a Tibetan youth, who climbed atop the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) building and threw pamphlets, the two-day visit of the Chinese Prime Minister, Mr Wen Jiabao, went off smoothly.

The Chinese Prime Minister rounded off his trip to Bangalore on Sunday and left for New Delhi with visits to two leading software companies, IISc and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). He was seen off at the airport by the Karnataka Governor, Mr T.N. Chaturvedi, and Secondary Education Minister, Mr Ramalinga Reddy, and others.

The Tibetan, said to be the General Secretary of Friends of India organisation, emerged from the balcony and unfurled a Tibetan flag and a banner criticising the Chinese administration for its policy against the Tibet.

Earlier, Mr Wen began his days' schedule with a visit to TCS and Chinese telecom software and R&D company, Huawei.

The Prime Minister arrived here on Saturday evening from Colombo at the first leg of his four-day visit to India. During his stay, he interacted with the Chief Minister, Mr N. Dharam Singh.

Mr Wen, who underscored the importance of strong bilateral co-operation in the IT field, observed that the co-operation between the two countries in IT would signify the coming of the Asian century.

"If we believe that the development of IT industry symbolises the future of science and technology and the economy, then the co-operation between our two countries to develop the IT industry will symbolise the prosperity of our two nations in the future and that day will come," he said.

During his meeting with Mr Dharam Singh, Mr Wen assured China's help and support to India in developing IT hardware sector. China would also help Karnataka in areas related to agriculture and in technologies to develop dry land, he said.
