Kathmandu, March 15: The Sindhupalchowk Chamber of Commerce and Industry has submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli calling for his efforts to open Tatopani trade transit during the upcoming China visit.
A delegation headed by Chairperson of Sindhupalchowk Chamber of Commerce Kumar Shrestha called on Prime Minister Oli at the latter's residence Tuesday towards taking necessary initiative to open the main checkpoint linking the northern neighbour.
Upon receiving the memorandum, Prime Minister Oli made it clear that his visit would bring Nepal-China relations to a new height and discussion during his visit would be focused on opening most of the transit points towards the north.
Noting that the closure of Tatopani checkpoint has inflicted a big loss to the economic development of the country, PM Oli said he seriously took the issue.
The northern trade transit points including Tatopani have been halted after the 25 April devastating earthquake. RSS
