Indian students can return to China

NEW DELHI: Students who returned to India following the Covid crisis can go back to China. China has asked India to provide a list of students. Chinese authorities will examine the list and issue travel permits to the students. Students must fill out a Google Sheet before May 8. It is estimated that nearly 23,000 Indian students study in China.

The Indian Embassy in Beijing has begun collecting the names of students. Students must bear the expense of Covid tests. The decision came after External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar held regular talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and others.
