From land-locked to world-linked, Nepal joins China-proposed BRI

Mr Leela Mani Paudyal, Nepal's Ambassador to China, shared his views with China Daily website on China-Nepal relations and the beauty he sees in the Belt and Road Initiative.

Mr Paudyal thinks highly of the bilateral development that contributes to peace and stability in the entire region. China's support means a lot for Nepal and Nepal craves for China's latest development experience and cooperation in more areas.

Nepal has been a resolute supporter and beneficiary of the BRI, "a win-win collaboration with mutual efforts and mutual sharing of benefits" in Paudyal's words. The initiative seeks to build a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa.

With the assistance of Chinese enterprises, the progress in Nepal's transportation and telecommunication infrastructure construction has greatly enhanced the country's connectivity with the outside world, turning it from land-locked to world-linked.
