G20 Summit: During the ongoing G20 summit, Indian External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met to discuss several important bilateral issues. Notably, the discussion focused on facilitating better connectivity to the revered Kailash Mansarovar and enhancing air travel links between both nations.

Focus on Kailash Mansarovar

One of the key topics of discussion was the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, an annual pilgrimage to the sacred site located in Tibet. Both leaders talked about improving infrastructure and ensuring that the journey for pilgrims is made easier. There is a shared interest in enhancing cross-border travel, enabling smoother access for Indian devotees who seek to visit the holy site.

Improved Flight Connectivity Between India and China

In addition to the Kailash Mansarovar discussion, the ministers also deliberated on increasing flight connectivity between India and China. Enhanced air routes are expected to improve travel, trade, and people-to-people exchanges. This collaboration would not only benefit tourism but also support broader bilateral relations.

A Step Toward Strengthening Ties

This meeting marks a positive development in the relationship between India and China, highlighting the willingness of both sides to work together on shared interests. Improving transport infrastructure and facilitating easier pilgrimages demonstrate a commitment to enhancing cooperation in the coming years.
