India Resumes Tourist Visas for Chinese Citizens After Five Years
India is now letting Chinese tourists get visas again after stopping for five years.
This is happening because India wants to improve its relationship with China after some problems they had.
India's leaders recently talked to China's leaders to try to make things better.
To get a visa, Chinese people need to apply at special centers.
This is also happening after India and China allowed people to go on a religious trip together again.
India has resumed issuing tourist visas to Chinese citizens after a five-year suspension.
The decision comes as part of efforts to repair strained bilateral ties.
