India, Nov. 21 -- India has opened up tourist visas for Chinese nationals applying through Indian missions and consulates around the world as the two countries continue the process of normalising their relations after a prolonged military stand-off on the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Visas for Chinese nationals were suspended after the start of the face-off on the LAC in April-May 2020.
