A two-member Nepalese Delegation left Kathmandu Saturday for Beijing to participate in the bilateral consultations with China, according to a press release issued by the Nepali Foreign Affairs Ministry.

The bilateral consultations will be held in Beijing and Lhasa from July 2 to 8, during which the two sides will discuss measures to boost economic cooperation and also explore new areas to strengthen bilateral ties.

The two sides will also discuss on the latest commitment of Nepal to develop itself as transit corridor for Indo-China trade and bridge between China and South Asia, according to the release.

Although the Nepali government has made clear that any specific plans and commitment to this regard will be developed through tri-lateral consultation between Nepal, India and China, Nepal has not discussed the matter to this proposal with China so far.
