A 12-member team from CCPIT Beijing and CCIOC has come to Nepal for the meeting.

Nepali industrialists and businessmen are happy with the fact that the Chinese government has included Nepal in the list of tourist destinations, the list of countries that its citizens should visit.

Since the outbreak of Covid-19 in China in December 2019, Nepal’s trade through the China border has been affected. For the past several years, China has been imposing an “undeclared blockade” on Nepal by halting the free movement of goods into the country.

Many entrepreneur have committed suicide in Nepal under stress as the financial condition worsened since the containers with goods got stuck at the Chinese border for a long time.
