As 2024 comes to an end, the friendship between China and Nepal is reaching new heights! 🚀 High-ranking Nepalese officials are making their way to the Chinese mainland to explore exciting opportunities for both nations.
Boosting Trade and Friendship 🤝
Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is set to visit China starting this Monday. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Arzu Rana Deuba is already in southwest China's Sichuan Province, attending the 5th China-Central Asia Foreign Ministers' Meeting. Talk about a power duo! 🌟
What's more, Oli's delegation includes about 48 private sector representatives. This giant squad signals a big move to amp up trade between the two neighbors. Get ready for some serious business growth! 📈
Zero Tariffs, Zero Worries 🛍️
In a game-changing move, China has decided to grant zero-tariff treatment to 100% of tariff items from all least developed countries with diplomatic ties. That means more unique Nepalese products hitting Chinese markets! 👜📱
\"We're seeing good growth in trade through Rasuwagadhi border point in the last two months,\" said Rabindra Prasad Pyakurel, information officer at Rasuwa Customs Office. With major festivals like Dashain and Tihar around the corner, trade is booming with goods like garments, footwear, electronics, and even electric vehicles crossing the borders. 🎉
A Future Together 🌄
The bond between China and Nepal isn't just about trade; it's built on a rich history of people-to-people connections dating back thousands of years. 📚 From the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha to Confucius, both societies share values like compassion, honesty, and harmony.
With these strong foundations, the future looks bright for both nations as they walk hand in hand towards prosperity and development. Here's to an ever-lasting friendship! 🥳
