Preparatory work is underway for a cross-border railway connecting China s Tibet autonomous region with Nepal s capital, Kathmandu.
Meanwhile, work will start on the China-Nepal Friendship Industrial Park in Jhapa, eastern Nepal, early next year. The park is the first of its kind launched with Chinese investment.

Nepal joined the China-proposed initiative in 2017. Last year, President Xi Jinping paid a state visit to Nepal, the first to the Himalayan country by a Chinese president for 23 years.
