Nepal's new government is looking to strengthen political engagement with China and expand cooperation in areas including connectivity, technology, governance and people-to-people exchanges, Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal says.
Speaking of his recent four-day visit to China, Khanal said connectivity is one of Nepal's top priorities in its cooperation with China, both a neighbor and an important partner for the South Asian country.
"We have seen very impressive infrastructure being built on the Chinese side. We would like to see similar connectivity improvements on the Nepali side as well," he said.
Improved land and air links would facilitate trade, tourism and people-to-people exchanges, he added.
Khanal expressed hope that his visit would help pave the way for more high-level exchanges between the two countries in the coming months.
