Goa, October 16

Chinese President Xi Jinping has expressed his readiness to visit Nepal at the earliest convenient date.

In a meeting with Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ on the sidelines of the BRICS-BIMSTEC outreach summit in Goa, Xi reportedly shared his readiness to visit Nepal after PM Dahal reminded him of his government’s invitation to the President to visit Nepal.

“I will visit Nepal at a convenient date within this year,” the Chinese President said, according to Foreign Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat.

The details of the proposed visit, however, will be finalised through diplomatic channels between the two countries. On the occasion, issues surrounding infrastructure, connectivity, trade and transit were discussed. Prime Minister Dahal also told Xi he was committed to implementing agreements signed between Nepal and China in the past,  Mahat said.

Emphasising on the need for unity among the countries in the region for effective enforcement of BIMSTEC, President Xi also suggested implementing the new constitution by consolidating internal unity of Nepal, according to Mahat.

The expansion of railway network to Lumbini of Nepal was also discussed during the meeting that lasted for around 40 minutes.
Foreign Minister Mahat, Foreign Secretary Shanker Das Bairagi and Charge d’ Affaires at the Embassy of Nepal in India Krishna Prasad Dhakal were also present during the meeting.
