Students Take Chinese Vaccines, But No Visas To Return To China: India

India has asked China to consider issuing visas to students and professionals who meet travel conditions such as taking Chinese-made vaccines amid the pandemic. The Chinese embassy in India had in March said it would consider giving visas to those taking Chinese-made vaccines for COVID-19. "Currently, people from China, including Chinese nationals, are able to travel to India despite the absence of direct connectivity. However, for Indian nationals, travel to China has not been possible since last November as the Chinese side had suspended existing visas," India's Foreign Ministry said in a statement. In November last year, China had said the travel ban from India and some other nations was a temporary measure.
