Chinese soldiers dispatched to Nepal for highway repair

LHASA, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- An emergency squad of Chinese armed police officers were sent to Nepal on Saturday to repair a highway blocked by landslide.

Upon receiving an emergency aid request from the Nepalese government, China's State Council and Central Military Commission decided to dispatch 100 armed police officers for the China-Nepal Highway repair.

They entered Nepal on Saturday morning through the Zham port on the Nepal-China border.

Chinese armed police had taken part in the Nepal mega-quake relief in April and May.

The squad will be faced with difficulty and danger as the Nepalese part of the highway is severely damaged by days of downpour, which may continue for another 20 days, said Fu Ling, commander in chief of the Chinese armed police traffic relief commandos.

The 943-km China-Nepal Highway connects Lhasa, capital of Tibet Autonomous Region in southwest China, with the Nepalese capital of Katmandu. It was put into use in July 1965.

Saturday also marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of China-Nepal diplomatic ties.
Nobody else on the earth is better at construction than China. Nobody else on the earth is better at destruction than USA.

Good initiative.:tup:

Great, we should maintain close ties with Nepal, which is the birthplace of the Buddha. :cheers:

Plenty of great tourism opportunities because of that.

Again our soldiers to be dispatched,why not PLA troops to be stationed in Nepal to meet any emergency situations.
And Chinese tourists should be free to go into Nepal like the people from country the other side.
