Nepal’s envoy gushes over stellar economy
Print Edition
China’s continued economic growth is important for global economic growth, prosperity and stability, according to Leela Mani Paudyal, Nepal’s ambassador to China.
China’s impressive economic growth will bring more funds, technologies, people, know-how, as well as more markets to Nepal, he said.
In 2017, China’s GDP grew 6.9 percent year on year and its contribution to world economic growth stood at around 30 percent, according to the communique on economic and social development released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics on February 28.
The ambassador said that China’s impressive economy has been able to grow continuously without any setbacks because of the reform and opening up policy. As China pushes for a new pattern of all-round opening up, Nepal will have more access to its technology, funds and markets, he noted.
The ambassador said he visited China for the first time in 1999. He highlighted the impressive changes in China, saying the “expeditious expansion of high-quality infrastructure” is unimaginable and marvelous.
He also said he was deeply impressed by China’s technological advancement and innovation, citing the example of the high-speed train. He said the high-speed train used to be “a very aristocratic mode of transportation” in the world before China entered the business.
But now with China’s technological advancement and innovation, it has become a common mode of transport.
Nepal and China signed a Memorandum of Understanding on bilateral cooperation under the framework of the Belt and Road initiative in 2017.
