Sri Lanka, Aug. 20 -- India and China agreed on Tuesday (Aug 19) to resume direct flights and step up trade and investment flows as the neighbours rebuild ties damaged by a deadly border clash in 2020.

The announcements followed Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's two-day visit to New Delhi for the 24th round of border talks with India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. The talks addressed troop deployments, delimitation of borders and boundary management, though no breakthrough was achieved.
