India-China border trade via Lipulekh Pass to resume after 6 yrs

Border trade between India and Tibet is set to resume on June 26, 2023, through the Lipulekh Pass after a six-year hiatus caused by the pandemic. This resumption is significant as it marks a return to economic exchanges that had been stalled, allowing Indian traders to enter Chinese territory. The operational customs office and the preparations for subsequent batches highlight the importance of cross-border trade in enhancing bilateral relations and economic cooperation.
