India and China have agreed to restart direct passenger flights between the two countries, nearly five years after cutting off this connection. 

The announcement was made during a visit by India’s Foreign Secretary, Shri Vikram Misri, to Beijing for talks with China’s Vice Foreign Minister, Sun Weidong, on January 27, 2025, as both nations mark the 75th anniversary of their diplomatic relation.  

In their discussions, Weidong reviewed the current state of India-China bilateral relations and agreed to “take certain people-centric steps to stabilize and rebuild ties,” according to a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs of India.
