India resumes tourist visas for Chinese tourists from today
India will restart issuing tourist visas to Chinese citizens from July 24, its embassy in China announced on Wednesday, marking the first such move in five years, as both countries take steps to repair a relationship strained by border clashes and trade tensions, reported Reuters.
The decision follows a period of deep freeze in diplomatic and people-to-people ties after the 2020 Galwan clashes. In the aftermath, India had imposed sweeping restrictions on Chinese investments, banned hundreds of Chinese apps, and curtailed passenger traffic.
