<h1>India and China agree to resume cross-border trade and direct flights, commit to joint peace on frontier</h1> Leaders of India and China held bilateral talks during an international summit aimed at assessing economic ties and steps to normalise relations after a strained border confrontation. Discussions, prompted in part by global trade tensions, produced commitments to jointly maintain peace along the contested frontier and to resume cross-border trade and direct flights, reflecting diplomatic measures that may create operational obligations and confidence-building mechanisms. The talks seek to reset bilateral relations through coordinated economic and security measures, which could affect regional stability, trade flows and implementation of agreed border-management protocols.
