This milestone follows Indian foreign secretary Vikram Misri's diplomatic visit to Beijing—the first of its kind since a deadly 2020 border clash. The agreement is coupled with China's consent to allow a significant pilgrimage to a Hindu shrine. Both nations aim to enhance diplomacy to rebuild trust and address lingering trade disputes, reflecting a mutual desire to improve bilateral relations.
The agreement in principle to resume direct flights signifies a thaw in tensions and a step forward for India-China relations after years of political strain.
Both nations’ commitment to improved diplomacy aims to restore mutual trust and tackle unresolved economic issues arising from the stalled flights.
