China provides bridge materials for Nepal recovery

Emergency relief supplies from the Xizang autonomous region, including materials for two Bailey bridges, were officially handed over to Nepal at Rizi Port in Shigatse on Friday.

The shipment includes Bailey panels, suspension rods, support frames, bridge decking and I-beams, which are sufficient to assemble two Bailey bridges to help restore transportation links in areas of Nepal affected by the mudslides.

At a handover ceremony in Lhasa, Nepal's Consul General Lakshmi Prasad Nirola signed the handover certificate and expressed gratitude for China's swift response following the disaster.

The Nepali side said the assistance from the Xizang autonomous region demonstrates the deep friendship and mutual support between China and Nepal and exemplifies the China-Nepal community with a shared future.
