In January, India and China had decided to resume the yatra and agreed in principle to restore direct flights. The decisions were announced after Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri held wide-ranging talks with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong in Beijing.

Asked if direct flights between India and China will also resume soon, the spokesperson said technical teams of the two countries are in regular touch in this regard. However, no timeline can be given for the resumption of the flights, he added.
