Despite packed schedules in welcoming heads of state and governments from around the world, Chinese officials accord Nepalese Foreign Secretary Bharat Raj Poudyal high-level treatment.
Nepal has requested for preferential treatment of its primary products in bilateral trade with China to help address the widening trade deficit between the two countries. During the 15th meeting of the Bilateral Diplomatic Consultation Mechanism held in Beijing on Friday, Nepal's Foreign Secretary Bharat Raj Paudyal, who led the Nepali delegation, proposed preferential treatment of Nepal's primary products such as tea, coffee, herbal products, cooked buffalo meat, and other agricultural products.
Senior officials from Nepal and China reviewed the entire gamut of bilateral ties in Beijing but failed to mention that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Global Security Initiative (GSI) were also discussed.
