Silk road benefits each country in Asia: Naya Shakti Coordinator Dr Bhattarai

Kathmandu / Oct 28: Former Prime Minister and Naya Shakti Nepal Coordinator Dr Baburam Bhattarai said the Silk Road would benefit each country in Asia while becoming a ‘pride’ of the region.

Addressing the Guangdong 21st Century Maritime Silk Road International Expo underway in Guangzhou in China on Friday, Dr Bhattarai said China’s One Belt One Road initiative would help connect Asian countries.

Aside from the initiatives, the Maritime Silk Road would help and facilitate to connect Asia with the remaining world, he said.

“To connect Chinese autonomous region Tibet and Nepal (possibly to expand up to India) by railway and road is possible both technically and economically. So in these circumstances, the concept of geographical difficulties in developing economic corridor of China-India-Nepal is not relevant,” Dr Bhattarai argued.

According to him, it would be wise to adopt the policy to make the best use of China’s capital and expertise for the massive infrastructure development and expedite economic prosperity of Nepal. RSS
