India and China to resume direct flights after five years

India and China have agreed to resume direct flights between the two countries about five years after the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent political tensions.
The announcement was made by a top Indian diplomat at the conclusion of his visit to Beijing.
The development heralds the latest signs of a thaw in the frosty ties between the nations.
The trip of Indian foreign ministry secretary Vikram Misri to Beijing marked one of the most senior official visits since a deadly Himalayan troop clash on their shared border in 2020.
The India’s foreign ministry, in a statement, said that the visit of a top envoy to Beijing had yielded agreement “in principle to resume direct air services between the two countries”.
It added that the relevant technical authorities from the two sides will meet and negotiate an updated framework for this purpose at an early date.
The statement also said that both the countries had agreed to work harder on diplomacy with the view to restore mutual trust and confidence. It will also resolve outstanding trade and economic issues, the statement added.
