New Delhi: India said on Monday it had agreed with China to resume direct flights between the two countries, nearly five years after the coronavirus and subsequent political tensions halted them.

A statement from India's foreign ministry said a visit by a top envoy to Beijing had yielded agreement "in principle to resume direct air services between the two countries".
