India and China agreed on Tuesday to resume direct flights and step up trade and investment flows as the neighbours rebuild ties damaged by a 2020 border clash.

Both nations agree on visa facilitation, updated air agreements, and closer cultural and economic cooperation while managing border issues.

The two sides agreed to create an expert group under the WMCC on border affairs to explore “early harvest in boundary delimitation”.

China and India should establish "correct strategic understanding" and regard each other as partners, not rivals, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said to his Indian counterpart on Monday, according to his ministry.
