Representatives of over 50 countries and organisations have clashed over the location of a co-ordination centre for a tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean.
At the two-day meeting India and Indonesia rejected a proposal by Thailand to base the centre in its capital, Bangkok.
However, they have agreed to set up smaller regional facilities in response to last month's tsunami, which killed more than 250,000.
The centre would collect seismic and oceanographical data from nations on the ocean rim, and issue alerts to vulnerable areas.
