India, China to Resume Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, Strengthen Ties

India and China have comprehensively reviewed their bilateral relations and agreed to implement measures aimed at stabilizing and rebuilding ties during the Foreign Secretary-Vice Minister mechanism meeting held in Beijing. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, currently on a two-day visit to China, represented India in the discussions.

The External Affairs Ministry announced that the two sides have decided to resume the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in the summer of 2025. Relevant mechanisms will convene to determine the modalities for resuming the pilgrimage under existing agreements.

In addition, India and China have agreed to an early meeting of the India-China Expert Level Mechanism to discuss the resumption of hydrological data sharing and other cooperative measures related to trans-border rivers.

To promote people-to-people exchanges, both countries decided to take steps such as facilitating interactions between media and think tanks. They also agreed, in principle, to resume direct air services, with technical authorities on both sides set to negotiate an updated framework at an early date.

Marking 2025 as the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations, India and China have pledged to use the occasion to strengthen public diplomacy efforts, rebuild mutual trust, and enhance awareness about each other among the public. Several commemorative activities are planned to celebrate the milestone.

Discussions during the meeting also addressed specific economic and trade concerns, focusing on resolving issues and ensuring long-term policy transparency and predictability.

These developments highlight a shared intent to rebuild cooperation and strengthen ties between the two nations.
