China and India in talks to revive border trade after five years as ties thaw

5 hours ago

China and India are in talks to revive border trade after five years, amid rising US tariffs. This is the latest step aimed at easing tensions, after a deadly border clash in 2020 caused ties to plunge to their lowest in decades. Just this week, Indian carriers were reportedly told to resume direct flights to China as early as next month. Beijing has also relaxed export curbs on a key fertiliser ingredient to India. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is also expected to head to New Delhi for talks on Monday — his first visit in more than three years. Ishan Garg reports from New Delhi.
