China - Nepal reopes traditional border trade points

China and Nepal reopened 14 traditional border trade points on May 25, marking a step forward in enhancing bilateral economic and trade ties.

The reopening ceremony took place in Zhentang Township on the China-Nepal border in the city of Xigaze, southwest China's Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region.

At the Zhentang trade point, 110 Chinese merchants and 47 Nepalese merchants engaged in transactions involving over 50 types of goods, including daily necessities, building materials, food and beverages, agricultural products and Nepalese handicrafts.

Traditional border trade activities, as a unique form of trade in border regions, are an important way to ensure the supply of production and living materials for the people living in the border between China and Nepal, and to promote the prosperity and development of the border regions.

The reopening of the trade points will provide more convenient conditions for trade and personnel exchanges between the two countries, further improving the well-being of the people living in the border of the two countries, and promoting the cooperation between the two countries.

Tibet traded with 175 countries and regions last year. Its imports from and exports to Nepal, its largest trading partner, totaled approximately 2.77 billion yuan (about 389.5 million U.S. dollars), up 77.2 percent year on year, according to the customs bureau in Lhasa, the regional capital.
