India’s External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, and Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, have discussed the next steps in enhancing bilateral relations between India and China. One of the key points of discussion was the resumption of the Mansarovar Yatra, an important religious pilgrimage for Hindus. The pilgrimage to Mount Kailash in Tibet was previously disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and political tensions. The ministers have agreed to work towards restoring the pilgrimage in a safe and smooth manner.
Plans for Direct Flights Between India and China
Another significant aspect of the talks was the proposal for resuming direct flights between India and China. This move aims to facilitate people-to-people connectivity and boost trade and tourism between the two nations. Direct flights will reduce travel time and enhance cooperation across various sectors, including business, education, and tourism.
Strengthening Bilateral Relations Through Diplomacy
The discussion between Jaishankar and Wang comes at a time when both countries are focused on improving their diplomatic and economic ties. After a period of strained relations, these talks signal a renewed commitment to dialogue and collaboration on key issues. Both ministers emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the region while expanding cooperation in various fields.
Next Steps and Future Prospects
Looking ahead, both India and China have expressed their intent to continue discussions on a range of bilateral matters. The successful resumption of the Mansarovar Yatra and direct flights would mark a significant milestone in the long-standing relationship between the two countries. The ministers are expected to hold further meetings to finalize these steps and explore other opportunities for collaboration.
