Trans-Himalayan network taking shape

Chinese investment in Nepal exceeded $300 million last year, trade over $1 billion

A trans-Himalayan connectivity network taking shape will serve not just China and Nepal, but also the region as a whole, President Xi Jinping said in a signed article on Friday.

The article, titled "Toward Greater Progress of China-Nepal Friendship across the Himalayas", was published in three Nepali newspapers ahead of Xi's state visit to the South Asian nation this weekend.
