The New Era: China in My Eyes | Ambassador of Nepal to China: The Belt and Road Initiative is opening the history

In the year of 2024, “Belt and Road Initiative” has wrapped up its first vigorous decade and is actively embracing a new golden decade. Reviewing the past, what tangible achievements has BRI made and why has it become a popular international public good and international cooperation platform? Looking ahead, how can BRI achieve new developments of higher quality and higher level? Based on this, China Radio International Online launches "Dialogue with Ambassadors in China: China's Role in the Global Governance" series, interviewing a number of ambassadors to China from BRI partner countries and inviting them to share their views on this.

H.E. Bishnu Pukar Shrestha, Nepal's ambassador to China, has paid close attention to the progress of the China-Nepal Cross-Border Railway Project. He believes that this project will help Nepal transform from a "land-locked" country to a "land-linked" country, fill the gap in infrastructure construction and attract more investment. At the same time, he also hoped that the cross-border railway will "bring the people of the two countries closer together". The ambassador concluded that BRI has become an important way for people to connect with each other and facilitate cultural exchanges, which is opening history.
