After 5 years, India will give visa to Chinese tourists. From Thursday, India will open visas for Chinese tourists.
The Indian Embassy in Beijing issued a statement and informed that Chinese tourists can apply for a visa after completing the online process. After the covid epidemic and the Galwan clash of 2020, the movement of citizens of the two countries seemed to be stopped. Gradually, Beijing opened up visas for Indian students and businessmen, but there was a ban for the general public. Until last March, visas were not issued to Indian tourists.
After high level diplomatic talks, there was an agreement to have direct flights between the two countries. Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun expressed gratitude for India's decision. He said, 'India is going to give visas to Chinese tourists again. This is a positive step. The movement of citizens of both countries will be very beneficial.'

in 2020 The relationship between India and China became very tense due to the clash between the security personnel stationed at the border in Galwan Valley of Ladakh. 20 Indian and 4 Chinese soldiers were killed in the clash.
Galwan is seen trying to mend the strained relationship after the clash. Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar reached Beijing in the last week of June after visiting Singapore. Jaishankar had a meeting with Chinese Vice President Han Cheng, Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Minister of the International Department of the Communist Party of China (IDCPC) Liu Qianchao.
Last October, there was an agreement between these two neighbors to implement a new border arrangement. After that, there was a sideline meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping during the BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia. It was the first formal meeting between Modi and Si after five years of the Ladakh conflict.
A meeting of SCO defense ministers was held in China's Qingdao last month. The meeting ended without a joint statement after Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh refused to sign it.
