New Delhi: India and China have agreed to resume flights directly and increase trade and investment, as the two sides are moving forward to rebuild relations after a deadly clash with the border in 2020.

Officials said the agreement was made on Tuesday during a high level of talks between the two neighbors.

The Indian Foreign Ministry confirmed that the two countries would reopen the border trade at three designated locations and work to facilitate the visa procedures for passengers and businessmen.

Renewal contact comes at a time when the two countries appear to strengthen relations against President Donald Trump’s unexpected foreign policy, with a high level of bilateral visits continuing.

The Indian Foreign Ministry said that the two countries will resume direct flights and promote trade and investment, including reopening of border trade and facilitating visas at three designated locations.

In 2020, direct flights were suspended since the Covade 19 pandemic disease. No date for their resumption was given.

The latest statements have come to resolve their decades -old border dispute for the 24th round of talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s two -day visit to New Delhi for the 24th round of talks with Indian National Security (NSA) Advisor Ajit Doval.

The Indian Ministry said that the border talks have covered issues related to the pulling of the two countries behind, their Himalayan borders, borders and boundaries have increased the boundaries and boundaries of boundaries.

A statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued on Wednesday said that the two countries have agreed to set up a working group for consultation and harmony with border issues to advance the boundaries.

It states that this procedure will expand the dialogue to cover the eastern and middle parts of the border. Meanwhile, there will be another round of talks on the western part, the ministry said.

Beijing also said that the two countries agreed to meet again in China in 2026.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on X after meeting with Wang, “Stable, forecast, constructive relations between India and China will play a significant role in regional and global peace and prosperity.”

Modi has to travel to China to attend the SCO summit later this month.

Tibet Dam

A read by the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that Wang told Dowell that “the stable and healthy development of India’s relations with India is in the basic interests of the people of both countries.”

Wang said that both sides should “increase mutual trust through dialogues and increase cooperation, and aims to consensus in areas like border control and border negotiations.”

India said that Foreign Minister Sabhamanim Jaishkar had identified his talks with Wang India’s concerns over the Mega Dam China on the Yaling Zingbo River in Tibet.

Yalling Zingbo became Brahmapatra when it flows into India and Bangladesh, a lifeline for millions.

New Delhi said that there would be implications for the lower -level states of the dam and the need for “extreme transparency” was strictly brought to fruition.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that for this, China agreed to share with India’s emergency hydraulological information about the relevant rivers on humanitarian principles.

The ministry said that the two sides agreed to include a specialist level procedure on cross -border rivers and maintain communication to renew the flood reports.

Chinese officials had previously said that the environment or flow of water in Tibet would not have a major impact on the supply of water, but India and Bangladesh have raised concerns.

Earlier on Tuesday, an Indian source said that Wang had assured Jaishkar that Beijing was focusing on three major Indian concerns – fertilizer, rare land and tunnel boring machines.

Indian foreign and mines ministries and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce did not immediately respond to comments requests.
