[ad_1]
Nepal’s PM Prachanda is now going on a tour of China after India. Meanwhile, now the issue of BRI is getting hot. China claims that Pokhara airport has been built under BRI, while the Foreign Minister of Nepal has clearly declared inside the Parliament that at present not a single project is going on in the country under BRI. In this way, the Foreign Minister of Nepal has exposed the dragon by rejecting the claim of China’s top diplomat in the country. China is infuriated by this.
Dispute between Nepal, China and India regarding Pokhara Airport
China has built Nepal’s Pokhara airport but so far not a single commercial flight has landed here. Nepal had given the task of building Pokhara airport to China even after India’s opposition. For this reason, India is not giving routes for international flights here. Pokhara Airport is located near the Indian border and India protested to China for security reasons. Because of this, Pokhara Airport is now proving to be the only white elephant for Nepal.
Now the Deputy PM of Nepal has urged China to start a new flight from its business center Chengdu to Pokhara and Bhairava Airport. Both these airports have been built by Nepal with the help of China. It is being told that Nepal’s Prime Minister Prachanda may now visit China at the end of this month or at the beginning of next month after his visit to India. Earlier, Prachanda had signed several important agreements during his visit to India with a 100-member delegation.
Nepal is taking careful steps on China’s BRI
China’s BRI project has come under controversy all over the world. Sri Lanka, trapped in the debt trap of BRI, has defaulted, while Pakistan is going through a terrible economic crisis. China is now pressurizing Nepal to take forward the BRI project. On the other hand, the Prachanda government taking lessons from Sri Lanka and Pakistan is taking steps in haste. This is the reason why China is angry.
