India may liberalise visa norms for china further

India is all set to overhaul its security cooperation agreement with China and further liberalise visa norms for the neighbouring country.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in 2005 between the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security for exchange of security-related information to combat terrorism is being revisited .

Impact of the agreement :

  •  China will deport Indians accused of terrorist acts and operating in Chinese territory after its agencies conduct an independent probe.

  •  Factor in contemporary global threats like the Islamic State, as many Chinese nationals are also learnt to have joined the extremist outfit, especially those from the Uighur region who are fighting for a separate state.

  • India and China will exchange information on terrorist activities, terror groups and their linkages and share experience on anti-hijacking, hostage-like situations and coordinate positions on anti-terrorism endeavours at regional and multilateral levels.
