China on Monday agreed to Nepal Prime Minister KP Oli’s request to build a strategic railway link between the two countries through Tibet to reduce land-locked Nepal’s total dependence on India, as the two sides cemented their ties by signing 10 agreements including a landmark transit trade deal. Oli, who arrived here on Sunday on his maiden seven-day visit to China, was given a red carpet welcome by Premier Li Keqiang at the Great Hall of the People. He also called on Chinese President Xi Jinping. Oli’s high-profile visit comes as Nepal seeks to open more supply routes from China amid fears of a repeat of recent nearly six-month long crippling blockade when the Indian-origin Madhesis blocked Nepal’s trade-routes with India, throwing normal life out of gear. During the talks, the two prime ministers made a comprehensive review of bilateral relations and expressed satisfaction over steadily growing relations between the two countries. - See more at: http://www.kantipur-video.com/videos/china-build-railway-route-to-nepal/#sthash.eYKt6dpv.dpuf
