India and China Set to Renew Direct Flights
India and China are planning to resume direct flight services between their countries. This decision comes after a prolonged standoff beginning in 2020 had negatively affected bilateral relations and air connectivity. The Indian foreign ministry emphasized the importance of reinstating these crucial travel links soon.
The Indian foreign ministry has announced a mutual agreement with China to restart direct flights between the Chinese mainland and India. This move is aimed at re-establishing crucial travel connections that were severed due to a standoff that started in 2020, straining bilateral relations.
The diplomatic standoff had led to a decline in air travel between the two nations, affecting numerous sectors, including trade, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges. The resumption of flights is expected to alleviate these issues and foster stronger ties.
The two countries are now focused on accelerating efforts to reinstate these air links at the earliest, as both governmental and private interests advocate for the restoration of regular flight services. This development marks a significant step toward repairing and enhancing the bilateral relationship between India and China.
