China, India to reopen border trade

China and India agreed on Sunday to reopen border trade at the Nathu La Pass on July 6 after 44 years' closure.

Officials from both sides ended the discussion on the issue in Lhasa, capital of Tibet Autonomous Region, and signed on the agreed minutes on Sunday.

The reopening of the Nathu La Pass is expected to give a major boost to bilateral trade between the two countries.

Trade in this area accounted for 80 percent of the total border trade volume between China and India in the early 1900s. Trading through the pass was suspended in 1962 after border conflicts.

"The reopening of border trade will help end economic isolation in this area and play a key role in boosting market economy there, " said Hao Peng, vice chairman of the autonomous region.

"It will also boost the transportation, construction and service industries, paving the way for a major trade route that connects China and south Asia," Hao added.

"The resumption of border trade is a great historic event, not only for enlarging trade, but also for greater relations between the two great countries," said Dr.

Christy Fernandez, additional secretary of the Indian Department of Commerce.

The Natu La Pass is 4,545 meters above sea level. It is 460 kilometers away from Lhasa and 550 kilometers from the Indian coastal city of Calcutta. The pass used to be an important trade passage between China and India.

The resumption of border trade reflects the improved ties between China and India, said Professor Liu Jiangyong with the institute of international studies of the Beijing-based Qinghua University.

He said that China and India have been exploring ways of mutual beneficial cooperation in the economic and trade fields, adding the accord on the guidelines for border demarcation signed in 2005 by the two countries created a peaceful environment.
