However, diplomatic relations between India and China later improved, after a series of high-level bilateral visits. The road to restoration of ties was carved out back in October 2024, when Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in Kazan, Russia, during the BRICS Summit.The two sides had agreed to end the border face-off in October 2024. Months later, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited China back in July and asserted that India and China should build on "good progress" in normalising the bilateral ties to address border-related issues, including de-escalation.What further normalised ties was the resumption of Indian pilgrims' visit to Kailash and Mansarovar in Tibet, and the easing up of visa procedures by both countries.
