Kathmandu, September 19
Ruling Nepal Communist Party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has expressed his confidence that the Belt and Road Initiative announced by China will be significant in giving a momentum to infrastructural development in the Himalayan region including Nepal.
He says the regional development project will also support development of transportation, energy, service and commerce among other sectors in Nepal so that the two neighbours can strengthen the bilateral ties.
Dahal, who is currently on a visit to Nepal’s northern neighbour, on Wednesday addressed a function organised on the occasion of International Peace Day in Nanjing of China, highlighting the significance of BRI.
“We have confidence that this connectivity will increase productivity, and improve technologies. It will create employment opportunities to achieve prosperity for people of both countries.”
On the occasion, Dahal also appreciated China’s role in promoting international cooperation, peace, inclusive development and shared prosperity.
Meanwhile, Dahal is returning home tonight.
