Staple Visa Issue No Longer Problem China between India

New Delhi (PTI) India and China are making
progress on the issue of stapled visas to residents of the
north Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir amidst indications
that it should "no longer" be a problem once the Chinese
authorities are done dealing with it.
"Our embassy in Beijing has been in touch with the
consular department of the Foreign Ministry in China and they
have said they are working on a solution. And that they are
dealing with the problem and that it should no longer be a
problem once they are done dealing with it," officials said
here.
However, they said, "we are still waiting to see what the
result of that is" and refused to take the issue as "settled".
On the arrest of some Chinese nationals, including a
woman, in north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh near the
Indo-Nepal border for allegedly sneaking into Indian territory
and taking pictures of vital installations, according to
Indian paramilitary personnel, they said they are under
judicial custody.
They have broken the law and "we have to go through the
process of law," the officials said.
