Asked whether China is ready to make a reciprocal gesture, he said, "China is willing to make joint efforts with India under the Chinese laws and regulations so as to facilitate the exchanges of China and Indian people and seek for new development."
The e-visa facility announced by Prime Minister Modi during his visit to Beijing on May 15 came despite strong opposition from the Home Ministry and security agencies over concerns of its misuse.
The e-visas are expected to increase the flow of Chinese tourists to India.
Less than two lakh Chinese tourists visited India last year against over six lakh Indians who visited China
