The first batch of imported goods transferred by Nepal through China under the China Nepal Transit Transport Agreement arrived in Kathmandu on the 7th. 15 tons of turmeric powder imported from Vietnam from Nepal were transported to the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu, through Tianjin Port and Zhangmu Tatopani Port. The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Supply of Nepal, Madu Kumar Marasini, delivered a speech at the welcoming ceremony for the arrival of the first batch of goods on the same day, stating that the completion of the transportation of the first batch of goods under the Nepal China Transit Transport Agreement signifies that the two countries have embarked on a "journey of change" to strengthen economic cooperation, increase trade volume, and achieve common prosperity. Chinese Ambassador to Nepal, Chen Song, stated in his speech that the successful implementation of the China Nepal Transit Transport Agreement means that Nepal's international trade will gradually diversify. With the improvement of cargo handling efficiency, port roads, and infrastructure at the China Nepal border ports, it is believed that the time and cost of Nepal's transit imports and exports from China will be further reduced, which will have a positive impact on Nepal's trade. China and Nepal signed transit transport agreements and protocols in 2016 and 2019, respectively, allowing Nepal to transit through China's four sea ports and three land ports. (New News Agency)
