India-China Agree On Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Resuming This Year

NEW DELHI (ANI)- Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri’s visit to China from January 26 to 27 marked a significant step forward in India-China relations, with several key developments underscoring the two countries’ commitment to strengthening ties.

One of the major highlights was the resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, which is set to take place this summer. The Yatra, a sacred pilgrimage to Mount Kailash in Tibet, had been paused in recent years, and its revival is expected to strengthen cultural and spiritual ties between the two nations.

In another positive development, India and China agreed to hold an early meeting of the India-China Expert Level Mechanism, which will focus on cooperation concerning trans-border rivers. This collaboration is crucial for managing shared water resources and addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

Direct air connectivity between the two nations will also be resumed, facilitating easier travel for people-to-people exchanges and promoting greater business and tourism ties.

As both countries approach the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2025, the two sides emphasized the importance of using this occasion to bolster public diplomacy efforts. Misri’s visit also saw an agreement to conduct a series of commemorative activities aimed at enhancing mutual awareness, trust, and confidence.

Moreover, both nations agreed to promote and facilitate people-to-people exchanges, including media and think-tank interactions, as part of broader efforts to build stronger bilateral relations.
