India to Restart Tourist Visas for Chinese Citizens on July 24
India and China are trying to get along better after a few years of problems.
India will start giving tourist visas to Chinese people again on July 24th.
They stopped doing this in 2020 because of the pandemic and a fight at the border.
Now, they're talking about making things normal again, like letting people visit each other and have direct flights.
They're also talking about fixing problems at the border and making trade easier.
It's like they're trying to be friends again after a disagreement.
India will resume issuing tourist visas to Chinese nationals starting July 24.
This move is part of efforts to repair bilateral ties strained since the 2020 Galwan Valley clash.
India suspended tourist visas for Chinese nationals in 2020 due to the pandemic and border tensions.
Recent talks between the two countries involved discussions on border issues, trade, and people-to-people exchanges.
The resumption of visas follows other normalization measures, like resuming direct flights and the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.
