In November, Chinese President Xi Jinping gave instructions regarding the new rail project in Tibet. It is being said that this new railway line will play a big role in the security and stability of the border. The Sichuan-Tibet Railway will start from Chengdu, which will reach Kando in Tibet via Yan'an. This reduced the travel time between Lhasa and Chengdu from 48 hours to 13 hours.

China claims that Arunachal Pradesh is part of southern Tibet. There is a dispute between India and China on the 3,488 km border on the Line of Actual Control. The Sichuan-Tibet Railway will be the second train service in the Tibet region after Qinghai. In November last year, President Xi Jinping had instructed officials to expedite the construction of this railway project.
