This part is the meat of the article but it does not explain why the French insist on two seperate contracts.

Hilarious. The dude's making a good living out of it--- speaking fees, book contract, TV apperances and the whole nine yards.

Whoever the author is, he(she) must have a very fragile ego to make a big fuss about nothing. Does anyone really believe that Salmon Khursid's moving to China? As India's top diplomat he was merely being complimentary to his host.

This is what Nepal wants all along. The late King Biendra proposed such a project 40 years ago. At the time China had neither the financial wherewithal nor the technical expertise for a undertaking of such a magnitude. Now the Nepali dream is finally coming true.
