India & China revive 2,000-year-old Silk Route as they resume trade via Nathu La

India and China resumed border trade via Nathu La Pass on Saturday. The pass was shut in 1962 after the Indo-China war and was reopened for trade in 2006 before being shut in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and border tensions. The oldest-known accounts note that Nathu La has been part of the Silk Route for over 2,000 years.
