Extract:
India and China have signed an agreement to resume trade across the Himalayas along an ancient artery of the Silk route that has been blocked for 44 years.
Giant warehouses and roads have been constructed on both sides of the 4,500m (14,900ft) Nathu La pass, which once accounted for 80% of the border trade between the two neighbours. A border dispute pushed India and China into a bloody, high-altitude war in 1962. This led to the closure of the route, which runs from Sikkim to Tibet.
