In the first five months of 2023, the Chinese Embassy and Consulates General issued over 60,000 visas to Indians traveling to China, according to Chinese Embassy in India spokesperson Wang Xiaojian in a tweet. Visas have been granted to Indian nationals for a variety of purposes, including tourism, business study, work, and family reunions.
Wang Xiaojian tweeted, “In the first 5 months of this year, the Chinese Embassy and Consulates General have issued over 60000 visas to Indian people travelling to China for purposes of business, study, tourist, work, family reunion etc. Welcome to China.”
