The Nathu La border trade between India and China has resumed in Sikkim after a six-year hiatus. This development is expected to boost economic activity in the region.
The reopening of the Nathu La pass is a significant development for the region, as it is expected to enhance trade and economic cooperation between India and China. The pass, which is located in the Himalayas, was closed six years ago due to various reasons. The resumption of trade is likely to benefit local businesses and communities in Sikkim. The state government has welcomed the move, saying it will boost the local economy. The Nathu La pass is an important border crossing between India and China, and its reopening is seen as a positive step in strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries.
