Execute deals inked with China

The government should chalk out agendas before Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s visit to China. Such preparations are standard for any official visit. However, the government’s main focus should be on executing the agreements inked with China in the past. We have many agreements with our northern neighbor awaiting implementation. 

Additionally, the government should actively engage with the Chinese government to boost the arrival of Chinese tourists to Nepal. Bringing in more tourists is vital for the growth of Nepal’s tourism industry.

Regarding the recent alterations to China’s map, it is imperative for the government of Nepal to engage in diplomatic discussions with Chinese officials. Prior to this, the government should ensure that the international community is duly informed about Nepal’s updated map. It’s worth noting that the map issue was not taken up during the PM’s visit to India, even though it’s an important matter concerning our bilateral relationship.
