TRN Online, Kathmandu, Nov. 29: State Councilor and Defense Minister of People's Republic of China Wei Fenghe arrived in Kathmandu this morning for a one-day visit to Nepal.
Minister for Home Affairs Ram Bhadur Thapa welcomed him at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA).
This is the highest level visit from the northern neighbour after President Xi Jinping’s two-day state visit in October last year.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) said in a statement on Saturday that Wei will pay courtesy calls on President Bidya Devi Bhandari and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli who also holds the portfolio of Defense Minister.
He is also scheduled to meet Chief of Army Staff General Purna Chandra Thapa. Although the ministry had not informed about the agenda to be discussed during his visit, bilateral relations, economic cooperation and COVID-19 support are said to be the major issues while progress of the bilateral projects might also get an entry to the deliberations. The visit of the Chinese Head of the State in 2019 had happened after a gap of 23 years.
