Khandu further said that his and Assam Chief Minister's commitment is to resolve the long pending border issues between the two friendly states.

''We are working hard to find an amicable solution. Happy that we have both made substantial progress,'' Khandu added.

The Assam Government has formed regional committees for talks with Arunchal Pradesh over the inter-state boundary issues with the neighbouring state and in this regard, several rounds of talks between the Regional committees have been held in recent times.

After the Namsai declaration signed by Assam Chief Minister and Khandu last year, the regional committee jointly visited the area for the first time.
