KATHMANDU: The Communist Party of Nepal (UML) has drawn a conclusion that the China visit of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was successful.
A secretariat meeting of the party held at its central office in Chyasal, Lalitpur on Tuesday came to a conclusion that the Prime Minister and party Chairperson Oli's China visit was successful and productive, UML deputy secretary Pradeep Gyawali shared in the press conference after the meeting.
"The agreement signed on Framework for BRI Corporation 'Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)' is an epochal achievement for long-term development of Nepal", leader Gyawali said, adding, "The understanding between the two ruling parties has played a role to take the BRI to a conclusion".
Leader Gyawali said the agreement reached between the Nepali Congress and the CPN (UML) on the BRI has formed the basis for building a national consensus while conducting foreign policy and external policy in the days to come.
He said the party has stressed the need for both the countries to implement the agreement reached between China and Nepal at the earliest. Prime Minister Oli had visited China on December 2-5.
A country like Nepal can reap benefits by establishing connections with other developing countries including emerging economic giants China and India. Gyawali further said the party has taken the results of the recently-held by-election seriously.
