China and India signed eight agreements during the first full day of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's visit to India.
None of them were ground-breaking; no resolutions on long-standing problems such as the disputed border or the Tibetan homeland.
But here's a look at what they did agree on, and what it might mean for India.
1. Buffalo Meat
An agreement on the trade in buffalo meat including minimum safety requirements for the meat was signed by India's ministry of commerce, industry and textiles and China's ministry of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine.
India is currently the world's largest exporter of buffalo meat selling $3.2 billion to more than 65 countries, according to a person with knowledge of the export market. But it has missed out on the growing Chinese market for the food because it exports it via a third country, the person said, declining to name the third party.
Meat industry insiders in India hope that the agreement will pave the way to direct exports of buffalo meat to China and help redress the trade imbalance between the two countries, which is strongly weighted in China's favor. India's trade deficit to China reached $40 billion in the financial year ended March 2012.
The Chinese demand for Indian buffalo could be worth $1.5billion a year, industry experts said.
2. China has agreed to provide more information about how its dams are affecting the flow of rivers that discharge into Indian territory. China's dam building has been a source of contention between the countries as Indian is concerned its farmers will be left with too little water.
Under this agreement China will provide India with information on the water level, discharge and rainfall between 8am and 8pm (Beijing Time) twice a day from June 1st to October 15th each year from three hydrological stations on the Brahmaputra river.
3. Pilgrims
The two sides agreed to improve facilities for pilgrims on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra to south Tibet, which take places every year from May to September.
China agreed to improve facilities on the route and to help pilgrims rent wireless sets and local SIM cards for cell phones.
The site at Mount Kailash is remote and currently has few amenities or hotels, according to travel agents working in the area. Lal Sodari, director of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, a private travel agency running trips to the pilgrimage site, said the agreement would make the journey easier for pilgrims.
Hindus believe the site of the pilgrimage is the home of Lord Shiva, but it also holds religious significance for Jains and Buddhists.
In 2012, a record number of 774 people took part in the pilgrimage to the site organized by India's foreign ministry, for which only Indians, picked by ballot, are eligible.
4. Sewage
An agreement for better cooperation in sewage treatment might not immediately sound that thrilling, but the two most populous countries on earth have agreed to share their experiences of dealing with waste generated by their collective 2.5 billion residents.
Pretty crucial, we'd say.
5. Working groups
Three working groups to look at service trade promotion, economic and trade planning cooperation, and trade statistical analysis were set up under an agreement between the countries' ministries of commerce.
6. Water technology
This interim agreement aims to enhance cooperation in ways to use water efficiently for irrigation in agriculture. Most of India's large farming community relies on rainwater that falls mainly during the monsoon months to irrigate their crops.
7. Translation of books
The countries signed a memorandum of understanding on the translation of 50 books and contemporary classical works from China and India into Chinese and Indian languages. It was unclear which Indian works will be translated under the agreement.
8. Twinning
Both sides agreed to identify sister cities and sister states or provinces.
