The ninth meeting of the Nepal-China Consultative Mechanism is slated for August 11 and is taking place after more than three years.
Foreign Secretary Durga Prasad Bhattarai is leading the Nepali delegation while Fu Ying, Vice Foreign Minister for China will lead the Chinese side.
“We will discuss the entire gamut of bilateral relations but have yet to finalise our agenda,” said Arjun Bahadur Thapa, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Outstanding issues including boundary talks, status of China-funded projects like the West Seti will be discussed and reviewed. Bilateral issues like trade, commerce, investment, border management, infrastructure development, tourism, connectivity and security are other issues to be discussed during the meeting.
The Nepal-China Consultative Mechanism was established in April 1966 to be headed by the Nepali Foreign Secretary and the Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs and is the highest level mechanism between the two countries.
