Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who is on a six-day visit to China, urged Chinese investors and traders to invest in Nepal, saying Nepal is a virgin land for investment and that there were prospects for investments and returns in every sector.

The Prime Minister said so while speaking at the Roundtable Meeting on Investment Opportunities in Nepal organised by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCIT) in Beijing on Monday.

"Nepal and China are old and close friends. Our relations date back to antiquity,” PM Dahal said, adding “History, tradition, cultural values and geography link us inextricably and our destiny is intertwined.”

“Our economic relations with China are age old. Merchants from either side of the Himalayas used to engage in trade and commerce with each other in early days,” PM stated. RSS
