E-Visas for Chinese nationals
News Nation Bureau 15 May 2015, 10:23 PM
Addressing a gathering at the Tsinghua University, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today announced that India will grant e-visas to Chinese tourists. Surprisingly Modi chose to announce this significant initiative which Chinese officials have been calling for in his address to the university not during his joint appearance for the press with Premier Li Keqiang. The announcement came in the teeth of strong opposition from the Home Ministry and security agencies over security concerns of its misuse, while the External Affairs Ministry and Ministry of tourism pressed for it.
