The trip follows recent efforts by the two countries to ease tensions after a breakthrough in October last year to end the prolonged military stand-off at eastern Ladakh. Mr Misri’s trip is likely to focus on easing visas, resuming direct flights, and strengthening economic ties between the two neighbouring countries.
