KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Nepal will be a historic one that will lift Nepal-China ties to a new level.
“We two countries are good neighbors, and we are good friends, good brothers and good sisters as well,” said the prime minister in an interview with Chinese state media, “We have very good friendship and mutual trust.”
Xi’s state visit to Nepal, the first by a Chinese president in 23 years, will be one with a “new meaning,” which provides an opportunity to enhance the political, economic, social and cultural ties between the two countries, Oli said.
Noting that China has become Nepal’s important source of tourists, Oli said he welcomes more Chinese tourists to Nepal next year as the South Asian country hosts “Visit Nepal Year 2020.”
