India has reportedly suspended tourist visas for Chinese nationals in what is seen as a retaliatory move against Beijing’s refusal to allow the return of thousands of Indian students, who have had to remain in India since 2020.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said in an update issued on April 20 that “tourist visas issued to nationals of China are no longer valid,” local news outlet The Times of India reported.
