Kathmandu, November 14
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli says the country needs greater support from its immediate neighbours as it is heading towards prosperity.
Receiving visiting Chinese Minister of Culture Luo Shugang at his official residence in Baluwatar of Kathmandu today, the Prime Minister said, “We have expected support from our friends to achieve the goal of prosperity. We need additional support from close neighbours.”
Prime Minister Oli’s foreign affairs advisor Rajan Bhattarai told media after the meeting that the Prime Minister also remembered various dimensions of the ties that Nepal and China share for centuries.
During the meeting, the Chinese Minister said his government would send as many tourists as possible to Nepal to make the country’s Visit Nepal 2020 a success.
He also informed the PM that the number of Chinese tourists in Nepal increased by 48 per cent this year.
Luo had met his Nepali counterpart Rabindra Adhikari yesterday.
