MOSCOW — A Chinese negotiating team headed by Vice Foreign Minister Qian Qichen arrived in Moscow on Saturday to resume border talks with the Soviet Union that were suspended almost nine years ago.
The talks, scheduled to begin Monday, will deal with a dispute over a boundary dividing northeast China’s Heilongjiang province and Siberia.
At issue are about 600 islands with an area of more than 400 square miles along the remote Ussuri and Amur rivers. Both countries have claimed the islands.
