KATHMANDU, Dec 2 - Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi has arrived here in the capital Tuesday evening for a three-day visit to Nepal leading a 10-member Chinese delegation. The visit of the northern neighbour’s foreign minister comes a week after Indian Minister for External Affairs Pranab Mukherjee’s trip to Nepal. The Chinese foreign minister, who came to Nepal on the invitation of his Nepali counterpart Upendra Yadav, will attend a dinner party organised by Yadav to night. Jiechi is scheduled to call on Prime Minister Pushap Kamla Dahal and President Dr Ram Baran Yadav on Wednesday. According to a foreign ministry source, the Chinese Foreign Minister will discuss the peace process and bilateral cooperation among other issues with his counterpart.
If all the politicians of Nepal were to stop their bribery only for a year, Nepal would have enough money to build roads to reach every corner! Now go tell that to Nepalese living in Nepal or abroad, you would be surprised how true your words are. There is a lot of bribery and corruption in Nepal. Full Stop.
Among many reasons of rural poverty, some are lack of access to resources and roads. If politicians of Nepal were so serious to develop the nation, the roads to reach every farmers backyard would have decreased the rural poverty by many folds. Due to lack of usable roads, farmers are unable to get agriculture inputs and to sell their products. Did you know that more than 80% of Nepalese are farmers and most of them live in rural parts of Nepal with little or no access to roads and modern agricultural facilities?
I recently read the news of Ambassador Powell for Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala stating to treat Tibetans in Nepal well , to make sure there Human Rights are respected .
All these stuffs make me feel, Nepal Is Completely Ruled by The Other Big Nations.
In Middle of all those huge Nations Nepal is more like a football. India Wants Nepal to be a Hindu Country and Keep the King. China Ask Nepal to shoot any protest that goes against the Olympic, on top of that US ask Nepal to treat those protestors well!!!
Come on... don't we have rights to think what is fair and do whatever is correct??? At the end it's not we are being kicked by Other Nations but The Corrupt politicians kicked us to the foreign envoys and they play around with us, SAMEFULL!!!

If you want to know about a small yet beautiful piece of land , come to Nepal. As if grueling treks and Everest expeditions weren't challenging enough, Nepal also serves up tiger tracking, gasping-for-air mountain biking, and some of the planet's most insane whitewater.
MY PAST AND I
- Parijat
Like a tall bamboo pole
dissevered by a sharp
winter's wind at dusk
I'm off to kiss the past.
In the cracked, crumbling
sun-scorched land
there's an intimacy
between us
I won't need present or future
to know my past-
Comrade Prachanda has assured the nation’s businessmen and the industrialists that the new government would accord top priority in encouraging the domestic investment in the country.
The Maoists leader gave such assurances to the businessmen when a delegation of Nepal Chambers of Commerce and Industries met him Yesterday, April 23, 08, in Kathmandu.
“The nation’s top agenda now would be the economic revolution”, Prachanda added.
According to him, the domestic investment will be accorded top priority but then the flow of the foreign investment too will not be discouraged.
King Gyanendra has sent congratulatory messages to Comrade Prachanda for his party’s thumping victory bagged during the just concluded CA poll.
High placed sources say that King’s Press Secretary, Mr. Phani Raj Pathak conveyed this message to Prachanda Saturday morning, April 19, 08.
Prior to this, one of the close relative of King Gyanendra and a business partner, Prabhakar S. Rana, too met the Maoists supreme commander last Monday, April 14, 08, and congratulated Prachanda on King’s behalf.

Covered up by the crowd, I can't see out
Where am I? Where?
Looks like it's taken me back
spinning like a wheel
the road looks strange
O Night, O Day- Wait a minute! Stop!
I'm getting off here-
don't know what it was that made me get on
but I see I've stayed by mistake.

An article published in the Herald Tribune by Robert Radtka Vice President of Asia Society in the US raises interesting questions about economic development in two of Nepal's neighbors India and China. Radtke believes that economies of India and China that are competing with each other might become more complimentary in the future. He concludes China may believe it has more to gain by establishing amicable relationship with India. Steps taken in recent years in normalizing Sino-Indian relations should also interest Nepal. Both India and China have enjoyed impressive growth rates in the past decade. Both are on their way to become economic giants. Nepal is situated just north of heavily populated states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India, which has remained relatively backward. Tibet Autonomous Region is sparsely populated but will be linked with eastern part of China by railway. Nepal is already linked with Tibet by Kodari Highway built in the 1960's. A second highway is being constructed now that will link Kathmandu by Rasuwa to Keyrong. Nepal should be able to take advantage of its proximity to both Indian and Chinese markets. China was able to get foreign investment of $54 billion in 2003, which was ten times more than that received by India. While the strength of the Chinese economy is in manufacturing, that of India is in services.
