Kathmandu, Apr. 18
Foreign Minister Dr. Arzu Rana Deuba has directed the
concerned authorities to make the border points more organised and efficient.
The directive came following her inspection of the border
and customs office at Tatopani in Sindhupalchok.
The Tatopani border serves as a key Nepal-China trade route,
generating over Rs. 20 billion in annual revenue.
On the occasion, FM Dr. Rana emphasised the importance of
improving the Tatopani point not only for trade purposes but also for tourism
promotion, noting that the route offers easier access to Mount Kailash and
Mansarovar, a significant religious tourism destination in China.
She further mentioned that the government would take the
necessary steps to upgrade the international trade route, the Kathmandu-Kodari
Highway, and other roads connected to the Tatopani border.
FM Dr. Rana also consulted with Sindhupalchok’s Members of
Parliament, local representatives, and other stakeholders to gather information
and hold discussions regarding the required upgrades at the Nepal-China border
point.
