Kathmandu, June 26
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli addressed the House of Representatives to inform lawmakers about achievements of his six-day official China visit, on Tuesday morning.
The address was rescheduled from Monday to 11:00 am today. It, however, was delayed for around half an hour.
Addressing the Lower House, the Prime Minister said that the visit further strengthened the bilateral relations between the two countries.
“My meetings with President Xi Jinping, my counterpart and other high level officials discussed the plans and techniques to adopt for constructing new infrastructures and developing the current ones in the country. This created a favourable environment for the development of Nepal,” said Oli.
The Prime Minister also said that the visit was a success as all the expectations were fulfilled after most agreements were reached between both Nepal and China. “China is positive towards this,” he added.
The Prime Minister further informed the lawmakers that various agreements on railways, road and highways, energy, hydropower, and communications sector were made during the China visit.
“We need to use the equipment and technology of our two neighbouring countries to develop the country. We cannot do it all on our own. We are also open to collaborating with other countries as well,” he said.
He also thanked the delegates for their contribution to making the visit a successful one.
As per the ongoing tradition, the Prime Minister and other ministers address the House before and after officially visiting foreign countries.
