Kailash Mansarovar Yatra to begin as China issues 85,000 visas to Indians
China has granted visas to 85,000 Indians to resume the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, signaling an effort to improve relations with India despite ongoing tariff tensions with the US. This initiative includes several facilities for Indian travelers, aiming to foster better diplomatic ties.
While the US and China are engaged in a tariff war, imposing significant taxes on each other, China is simultaneously working to enhance its relationship with India. China has issued visas to over 85,000 Indians and has welcomed Indian travelers with various amenities to ensure smooth travel. It is anticipated that Indian citizens will receive improved facilities during the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra between the two nations.
Pakistani expert Qamar Cheema mentioned that China had decided to enhance its relationship with India before the tariff war. Consequently, from January 1 to April 9, visas have been issued to 85,000 Indians. Additionally, biometric exemptions, low-rate visas to China, and information about China's historical heritage are being offered.
Kailash Mansarovar Yatra to begin
China has altered its stance towards India, making every effort to enhance relations. The two nations have now agreed on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. An Expert Level Mechanism (ELM) meeting will be convened between the countries. This meeting is anticipated to cover hydrology, river discussions, and several significant collaborations.
Kailash Mansarovar Yatra has been closed since 2020
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra takes place from June to September, passing through Lipulekh Pass and Nathu La. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic and the heightened tensions between the two countries at the LAC, the yatra was halted. In 2020, there was a violent confrontation between the two nations in the Galwan Valley.
