"President Xi's visit surely further deepened Nepal-China cooperation and will produce new momentum for Nepal's development," said the mayor.
INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADE
Hailing the signing of the cooperation documents, Pushpa Raj Pradhan, editor-in-chief of Nepali weekly People's Review, said "documents on transportation and trade will have a long-term impact on the economic development of Nepal."
Pradhan voiced optimism of the trans-Himalayan connectivity network, a gigantic infrastructure program undertaken by the two countries to upgrade roads, railways and aviation in Nepal, and bolster ties.
Mohan Lohani, former Nepali ambassador to Bangladesh, highlighted the importance of the trans-Himalayan connectivity network and said the newly-signed cooperation documents "arose the hope that the two countries would be better connected in the future."
The planned trans-Himalayan connectivity network would serve as an effective route, through which more Nepali goods could go to China and thus gain access to wider markets in the region, said Yubaraj Sanurra, a revered local policy analyst.
Foreign policy expert Hiranaya Lal Shrestha said, "China's pledge for infrastructure development across the Himalayas may make the mountains a symbol of friendship instead of a barrier."
DRAWING A BLUEPRINT
Ahead of Xi's tour here, Oli told Xinhua that Nepal is committed to strengthening its friendship with China and expanding ties under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
