In a move which could see an increase in export of buffalo meat and fishery products to China, the two countries on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding here on Monday, which aims to help meet the regulatory requirements for such exports with respect to safety, hygiene and quarantine.
The agreement was one of the eight signed at the conclusion of delegation-level talks between visiting Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
In a bid to enhance people-to-people contact, India and China also signed an agreement to facilitate co-operation and linkages between cities and States/provinces.
The two sides also agreed to conduct the Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra every year between May and September with the Chinese side saying that they would make further improvements to the existing facilities for pilgrims.
Besides, in a move that is likely to facilitate smooth communications, China has agreed to assist India in renting wireless sets and local SIM cards for those going on the pilgrimage.
