The new Chinese Ambassador to Nepal Chen Song has arrived in Kathmandu on Sunday to take up his assignment.
Chen’s arrival in Nepal was delayed after he and his wife got infected with Covid-19.
After coming to Kathmandu, Ambassador Song reminded historical relationship between Nepal and China, which he said has various dimensions.
Song said that he is ready to add a new chapter to Nepal-China relations and cooperate with all parties for the development and prosperity of the people of both countries.
China had proposed Chen, one of its senior diplomats, as the new ambassador to Nepal in November. He replaces Hou Yanqi, who has already returned to China after completing her four-year tenure in October. Hou assumed office in Kathmandu in December 2018.
Chen is a familiar face in Nepal’s diplomatic circles as he has in the past been a part of several meetings with Nepali officials.
He is the 22nd Chinese ambassador to serve in Nepal.
