China begins Tibet-Nepal rail link
China begins Tibet-Nepal rail link
"KATHMANDU (AFP) - China has started to build a rail link between Tibet and Nepal that could drastically reduce Kathmandu's trade reliance on its giant southern neighbour India, officials said Saturday. Beijing is bringing the railway line from Lhasa -- the capital of Chinese-controlled Tibet -- to Khasa, a town along the Nepal-China border, Aditya Baral, the premier's foreign affairs adviser, told AFP.... "The railway network will be important for increasing trade and tourism for both countries," Baral added. Landlocked and impoverished Nepal is wedged between India and China. Analysts said such a rail link could reduce Nepal's reliance on India for many of its goods from drugs to transport vehicles and spare parts, cotton textiles and cement. Many Nepalese are uneasy with what they say is New Delhi's dominance of the Himalayan nation's economy."
