Chinese Army Chief visits Nepal
Chief of Army Staff of Chinas People Liberation Army Chen Bingde will begin a three-day goodwill visit to Kathmandu on Wednesday at the invitation of General Chhatra Man Singh Gurung.
General Chen, who will lead a 15-member military delegation, will pay courtesy calls on President Dr Ram Baran Yadav, Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal and Defence Minister Bishnu Poudel. The PLA chief will hold bilateral talks with CoAS Gurung, and is expected to announce Rs 1.43 billion technical assistance to Nepali Army.
A part of it will be spent on upgrading the army hospital at Chhauni and for the purchase of heavy equipment for Directorate of Development and Construction of Nepali Army, a senior army officer said. Last year, the Chinese military had assisted the Nepali Army with 10 million yuans for communication and other equipment.
Chens visit will be the highest level military visit from China since Chi Haotian, then vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission and Minister of National Defence, visited Kathmandu in 2001.
