China and India have agreed to promote the interchange of journalists, China’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
Tensions soured between the two nations after a deadly 2020 military clash on their disputed Himalayan border, following which India made it difficult for Chinese companies to invest in the country, banned hundreds of popular apps and severed passenger routes, although direct cargo flights continued to operate between the countries.
Relations have improved over the past four months with several high-level meetings, including talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Russia in October.
On Monday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri in Beijing that the two countries should work in the same direction, explore more substantive measures and commit to mutual understanding.
According to a statement posted on the Chinese foreign ministry’s website, China and India have also agreed to continue cooperation on cross-border rivers and to keep in touch about organising a new set of discussions as soon as possible.
Furthermore, China and India have agreed to strive for the restoration of Indian pilgrimages to Tibet’s sacred mountains and lakes in 2025, according to the ministry.
