Rabi Lamichhane to Visit Beijing for High-Level Meetings

Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chair Rabi Lamichhane is set to embark on a significant visit to Beijing in the second week of August, aiming to strengthen Nepal-China relations. A four-member delegation led by Lamichhane will engage in high-level discussions with key Chinese officials.

While the full itinerary remains undisclosed, confirmed meetings include Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and senior leaders of the Communist Party of China. This visit is being organized under the framework of party-to-party relations, with Lamichhane having received an invitation from China during the previous parliamentary term.

The visit is being organised under the framework of party-to-party relations. Chairperson Lamichhane had actually received an invitation from China during the previous parliamentary term. This time, however, we expect more substantive discussions.

According to a senior government official, the delegation anticipates more substantive discussions this time, focusing on deepening and strengthening the bilateral ties between Nepal and China. The visit is expected to span five days, though the identities of the other delegation members have not yet been revealed. Notably, no government representatives will accompany the RSP delegation.

The RSP's approach to foreign relations is exemplified by Lamichhane's previous visit to New Delhi, where he met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This upcoming trip to Beijing mirrors that engagement, underscoring the party's commitment to fostering international connections through direct dialogue.

There will be talks at a high level. The main agenda is to further deepen and strengthen Nepal–China relations.
