The incident sharply escalated tensions and brought bilateral ties to a historic low. The decision to revive the SR dialogue and other dormant channels was taken during a brief exchange between PM Modi and President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of BRICS Summit in Russia's Kazan in October last year.
