India-China Direct Flights Resume After Five-Year Hiatus
India and China will resume direct flights between designated cities this month, ending a five-year suspension. This move is seen as an easing of bilateral tensions and follows discussions between leaders Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping to strengthen trade ties despite a significant trade deficit.
In a significant development, India and China are set to resume direct flights between designated cities this month, marking the end of a suspension that lasted more than five years. The announcement was made by India's foreign ministry on Thursday.
The flights suspension had been in place since 2020, during a period when China remained India's largest trading partner. This move is seen as part of a broader effort to ease bilateral tensions between the two nations.
This announcement follows Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China, where he met Chinese President Xi Jinping. During their meeting, the two leaders discussed strategies to bolster trade ties while addressing India's trade deficit concerns and the importance of maintaining peace along their shared border.
