Zoramthanga told reporters this after meeting the high-level Assam delegation led by border protection and development minister Atul Bora who was accompanied by housing and urban development minister Ashok Singhal. He said he had a telephonic conversation with Sarma and they had planned to meet face to face during the later part of August or early September in New Delhi on the border dispute issue.
Delegations of the two states which met in Aizawl on Tuesday would also meet again sometime in October, as was agreed during the negotiations, he said. "Assam being like a father of almost all the states in the northeast region, took a fatherly attitude towards all the issues. I hope that we will be able to solve all the problems," Zoramthanga said, adding that the border disputes and all the other problems in the northeast would be resolved soon.
