India and China have agreed to expedite the resumption of direct air services and will continue to stabilise and rebuild ties, the Indian foreign ministry said on Friday.

The statement from the foreign ministry came after a meeting on Thursday of Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong, who is visiting India.

The neighbours agreed in January to work on resolving trade and economic differences, a move expected to boost their aviation sectors.
