Nepal expects more bilateral cooperation with China

The Nepalese government expects to strengthen cooperation with the Tibet autonomous region in the areas of trade, tourism, culture and infrastructure development, said a top Nepalese official in Lhasa on Tuesday.

"Whether it is commercial enterprises or civil exchanges in Nepal, the just concluded 5th China Xizang Tourism and Culture Expo will not only promote the development of trade in Nepal, but also we can learn more about ethnic unity, and economic development," Ganesh Prasad Timilsina, chairman of the National Assembly of the Federal Parliament of Nepal, said during an exclusive interview with China Daily on Tuesday. Xizang is the name of Tibet in Chinese.

He was amazed that one of the successful things China has done is unite so many ethnic groups and achieve such rapid economic development, which is an important aspect that Nepal needs to learn, he said.
