Nepal shadowed China's 'CPPCC'

Due to the fact that it is located between two big developing countries, India and China, the geopolitical importance of Nepal is equally sensitive for the outside world. Due to the development of China's southwest region and the gateway to China's entry into South Asia, Nepal is a neighbor of perennial need for China. It has a deep meaning for the legislators to raise their voices for the upliftment of the western and southern regions of China by increasing trade and commerce with Nepal from direct flights from China to Nepal's newly built Bhairahawa International Airport.

2024 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese National People's Congress (NPC) and the 75th anniversary of the founding of the CPPCC. About three thousand representatives of NPC and 2100 members of CPPCC gathered in Beijing from different areas and proposed a blueprint for the country's development. Opinions and suggestions aimed at Nepal were also received.

Member of the National Committee of CPPCC and Vice President of the Chinese Intellectuals Association and Shanchan Yin Shun, the abbot of Hongfa Temple, increased the dignity of Nepal by proposing to strengthen the construction of the Air Silk Road and a direct flight to Lumbini, the land of Buddha. To reach Lumbini now you have to go to Kathmandu from the mainland of China and use another form of transport.

Monk Yin Shun's statement should have reminded China of its commitment in the past. As soon as two international airports were built in Nepal, Chinese airlines promised to start flights. According to the then Nepali diplomat of the Nepali Embassy in Beijing, the initiative on behalf of Nepal is not reaching the promise made by the Chinese company. Therefore, the opening of direct flights will be a positive point in China's ambition to advance the construction of the Air Silk Road and will help Buddhist religious exchanges.

Legislator Yin Shun told the media in front of the People's Assembly Hall - 'In order to link the direct flight operation with Lumbini to the high-quality construction of the Belt and Road, the construction of the Air Silk Road can be included in China's 8 projects and the Silk Road tourist city alliance system. It would be good if China-Lumbini direct and regular flights could be operated as soon as possible through domestic airline companies, making China's first tier cities the main body.'

Yin Shun are the same monks, who have reached Lumbini many times and have access to the highest political level of Nepal. Pictures of him interacting with Nepal's former president Bidya Devi Bhandari, Ram Varan Yadav, former prime minister KP Oli, late Sushil Koirala, former minister late Rabindra Adhikari and other intellectuals and representatives of social bodies can be seen on Chinese websites.

Although Lumbini is a popular tourist destination for many Chinese tourists, it has to be reconsidered due to traffic inconvenience and long travel time. If Yin Shun's proposal of the need for such a direct flight for the Chinese can be realized, the cultural exchange between Nepal and China will be further strengthened.

Consultative conference means that legislators selected from different sectors of the society offer advice and suggestions for the development of their respective sectors. That's why they raise the voices of the ground people. Legislators who understand Nepal in this sense, it is natural to raise the issue of cooperation from the angle of promoting international relations. In this context, they proposed the development of Nepal by connecting Tibet.

Member of the National Committee of CPPCC and President of Xinjiang Industry and Commerce Federation, Tuochi Chchu said that Xinjiang has a unique geographical advantage as it is an important route connecting China with South Asia. According to media outlet ChinaNews.com, last year, Tibetan travel agencies had more than 2 dozen The tourist group was sent to Nepal.

Other members of CPPCC have suggested that Xinjiang expand border trade with neighboring countries such as Nepal, the Chinese English daily Global Times wrote. They also reminded that Nepal in 2019 Inaugurated the joint construction of China-Nepal Industrial Park which is a major bilateral cooperation project of BRI . Xinjiang has also established a border economic cooperation zone in Kerung County.

CPPCC National Committee member and Chairman of Aluminum Corporation of China, Tuan Xiangtong, addressing the presented proposal, said that this region, and Ali Prefecture in particular, is the main area to open up the South for China. He suggested that Asia, rich in natural and mineral resources, would benefit from increasing investment in basic infrastructure.

In the past conferences, it was impossible not to talk about the development of the border area. This time the name of Nepal came clearly. This has raised the importance of Nepal's legislators. Meeting once a year to collect suggestions and the government to make an annual action plan, this conference is meaningful for the direction of action.

Some Chinese analysts who look at South Asia affairs say with a catchphrase - Nepal is a country that is begging on a plate of gold. They admit that Nepal could not benefit from their country. A new alliance is underway in Nepal. There was a political incident of a new alliance in Nepal at the Serofero of the 2 big conventions of China. In any case, there has been some environment in which the communists who claim to be left-wing brotherhood can cooperate. If Nepal's leadership has the ability to cash in on Chinese needs, there is definitely room for benefits. Diplomatic efforts should be made for direct flights as soon as possible. Nepal should speed up its border development through the Tibet route as soon as possible.
