On the occasion of the 67th anniversary of the establishment of Nepal-China diplomatic relations, a commerce delegation from Kunming City, Yunan Province of China has called on Pokhara Metropolitan City mayor Dhan Raj Acharya.
During the meeting discussions were held on how the two cities could collaborate in the future, mayor Acharya said. The five-member delegation from Kunming City is led by Lingchen Hun. Construction of a theme park of various cities with which Pokhara metropolis has established sister city relations and designating a special corner reflecting the identity of these cities in the theme park also figured in the discussion.
It is hoped that the construction of the theme park will help increase the number of Chinese visitors to Pokhara. A Chinese team is studying the existing parks in the city for constructing the theme park.
The Kunming City delegation on the occasion pledged to donate medical equipments worth Rs 5 million to the Pokhara metropolis.
Acharya also urged the Kunming city team to take initiatives for starting direct air connectivity between Pokhara and Kunming after the operation of Pokhara International Airport. To this, the Chinese team has replied positively.
The Pokhara Metropolitan City has established sisterly relations with Kunming, Guangzhou, Yibin, Chiuchow, Haikou, Nanning, and other Chinese cities.
Apart from these, Pokhara has also established sister city ties with Komanage city of Japan, Adler city of Turkey, and Gangbuk city of South Korea.
