  1. Submission Statement:

    India and China are set to resume direct flights as soon as September — the announcement likely around the time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the eastern neighbour at the end of August — as the two countries seek to reset political ties after years of tensions, sources have said.

    Direct flights between India and China were halted after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing people to travel by hopping flights through hubs like Hong Kong or Singapore.

    The renewed push to resume direct flights and improve bilateral ties between the two Asian countries comes against the backdrop of heightened tensions over US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on India, which he doubled from 25 per cent to 50 per cent due to New Delhi’s oil purchase from Russia.

  3. This is definitely a hint to the US that India and China, although they have big differences, may join forces because of Trump.

  4. This is amazing news, since these two having good, or at least better relationship is one of the ways to lower global conflict the most
