Earlier, India and China have agreed to disengage and resume patrolling in the Depsang Plains and Demchok areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). This move aims to reduce tensions and restore peace along the border.
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, a significant pilgrimage route for Hindus, has been restarted, symbolizing renewed people-to-people connections and cultural diplomacy between the two nations.
India and China have also resumed tourist visas after a five-year gap, and there's been a revival of business relations, with Indian diesel cargo being shipped to China for the first time in over three years.
