China's defense ministry was quoted by news agency Reuters on Wednesday as saying that India and China had talks on border-related matters. Both sides were in "active and in depth communication on the control of the western section of the China-India border."
The two nations decided to keep in touch, according to the statement. The ministry stated, "Agreed to continue to maintain communication and dialogue through military and diplomatic channels," according to Reuters.
Days have passed since direct flights between Guangzhou and Kolkata resumed. After a five year hiatus, direct commercial flights between the two cities resumed on Sunday.
In August, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his first trip to China in seven years to attend a regional security gathering of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed boosting trade in the face of uncertain global tariffs and agreed that China and India are development partners rather than adversaries during their visit.
MEA spokeswoman Randhir Jaiswal stated, "We had issued a press release and thereafter I understand that commercial activity in this regard has started," during an earlier media conference. Naturally, this is consistent with the increasing trend of normalization in India-China relations."
