According to China’s Foreign Ministry, Wang said that we should strive to resume direct flights as soon as possible, make concrete progress on sending journalists and facilitating visas.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has stressed the need to restore direct flights and improve bilateral ties with India, signaling a thaw in ties after a prolonged standoff over border disputes. Wang made the remarks during a meeting with Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in Rio de Janeiro on the sidelines of the G20 summit. According to China’s Foreign Ministry, Wang said that we should strive to resume direct flights as soon as possible, make concrete progress on sending journalists and facilitating visas.

This discussion marks a change in relations between the two countries. The Himalayas had become tense following border clashes in 2020. The clashes resulted in casualties on both sides, resulted in military mobilization, suspension of direct flights and delays in visa processing. Relations began to improve after a breakthrough in October, when Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met for the first time in two years, and agreed to reduce tensions.

Highlighting the potential for cooperation, Wang said China and India’s common interests far outweigh their differences. Both sides should see each other’s development as an opportunity. The resumption of flights and easier visa process will mark important steps towards normalizing relations between the two Asian neighbours, underscoring efforts to prioritize development over discord.
