National and international experts, who have been closely studying international mega projects including those under China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Nepal, have stressed on the need of selecting such projects only if they fit in national interests.
They also underlined that Nepal should select any project only if that is commercially viable, transparent and is in line with the country's national policy and programs.
Airing their views in a program entitled Belt and Road Initiative: International Experience and Nepal, the experts said that a developing country like Nepal must be cautious while accepting international support as the donor countries have their own geopolitical as well as other interests.
