"China and its western neighbour, Nepal, should and will have still closer ties," the Chinese President, Jiang Zemin, told the visiting Nepalese King, Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, here on Wednesday. Mr. Jiang, who is also general secretary of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), encouraged more exchanges between the Tibet autonomous region and Nepal, the China Daily said. The two sides signed an agreement on trade and related issues between the Tibet autonomous region and Nepal, replacing an earlier treaty which had lapsed. According to the agreement, the two sides will make full use of the Lhasa-Kathmandu highway on a reciprocal basis to improve passenger and cargo transport and promote cooperation between the two countries in trade, tourism and other fields. According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, it was the second time that China and Nepal had signed such an agreement on trade and related issues. China has announced a grant of $10 million to Nepal for the next fiscal under the economic and technical cooperation, official sources said. — PTI
