This is the pleasure of we Nepalese to embrace to welcome the President of the People's Republic China Mr. Xi Jin Ping today. This is the initiation to enhance peace and prosperity together with dignity not only in this region but also in the global. China, collaborating and compassionate for the greater cause of humanity together with all the stockholders beyond the geographical and cultural frontiers. President Xi Jin Ping is not only the visionary leader, but also a man of passion with compassion and humanity.

In the Nepali culture guest consideration as the god. This is the values and tradition. This is one of the most important essences of the cultural values. The brethren, guest, and the President of People's Republic of China, Mr. Xi Jin Ping, for the compassion, respected to the full of the dignity and the beings to enhance humane. It is the cultural norms. We know that we keep our home environment clean and peaceful always. Keeping the courtyard clean in any special cultural festivals and on the occasion of welcoming the guests is also our cultural value. Flowing this tradition and value now the capital city Kathmandu is clean and peaceful to warm welcome to the President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jin Ping.

Collaborative initiatives with Xi Jin Ping's visit

The president Xi Jin Ping envision a collaborative and cooperative sense of coexistence respecting dignity and values with the communities in the world. This is the essence of Xi Jin Ping thoughts and it's very important to this world. Belt and Road Initiative is the way to proact for the global development.  
Nepal is a landlocked country. The country endorse a transit treaty with the China in the recent days specifically after the embargo from India, Particularly after the inauguration of the constitution in 2015. It needed Infrastructure development, however it was not possible from a state point of view, for that very reasons we needed cooperation and collaboration. This initiative not only mediated and facilitated with the historical visit of the President Xi Jin Ping and the Chinese love and passion. I hope this will facilitated the access to the north, and to the world. The BRI is most important connectivity not only to China and India, but also to the world, not only by terrestrial network but also to the sea. This railway to access through the Himalayan corridor is the most important to the south Asian communities, but also it’s a global initiate for peace and prosperity. Geopolitics engaged with such endeavors not only go beyond the frontiers, but also permeated through other endeavors. However, the perspect entailed so far with the geopolitical and international relations. It is one of the most important connectivity in the world not only for the economic development, but also for the human security and peace. Enabling connectivity which China and Nepal overland transportation network impacts the international relations East Asia, Middle East, South Asia, West Asia the trade with the Indian continent is assured. Despite, one of the opinion is that BRI might corrugate the Nepalese and the Indian relation adversely.
This is why, this is the dream. To materialized this dream now the communities, China and Nepal are collaborating. This connectivity not only transforms the lives of the south Asia, global humanity. Connectivity is the key of the economic development. In the contemporary world trade is more important than politics. How we learn from the Chinese is that, first develop the economic foundation, than prosperity is possible. There will be peace and we can live with peace in together with prosperity.
We are talking about the construct Lhasa-Kerung railway line. India also wants to use this railway line for trade with Europe, the Middle East, and West Asia. At that point, Nepal will be a transit point in this region. That's why this railway line will be a beautiful opportunity for Nepal.  Communist Party of China also knows that the gate of Nepal has to be opened to make south Asia prosperous. We know very well what is our priority and what the important role of Nepal regarding the BRI.  We also know that, according to our foreign policy, we have to balance our neighbors based on our national interests. Our current government is very clear and conscious on it.
 
BRI and President Xi's visit to Nepal
BRI is the initiatives to collaborate and cooperate with all the neighbors. Till date, there are two types of model experience by the humankind. The one is to earn, at the same time demolished the others. Next, mutual collaboration and coexistence is the basis of the conduct. The first model impose the hegemony. That not prevails, nor prosperity. It only makes many hungry, whereas some fulfills. We are happy to see the second vision of the Chinese leadership.
It is important to have regional peace if you want global peace purposely. We joined with the BRI in 2017. It's was late but now situation is very good for work on it. We have stable government and strong leadership as well.

BRI and the others
At the beginning it was impossible to conduct the railway system from Qing Hai to Lahsa by many western foreigners, however, Chinese knowledge, skill and technology embark on it to make it success it now running on full phase. That is the landmark to recognized the Chinese skill and technology in the world. It's getting a high global credentials.
Still we have discourses in Nepal and India about the prospect of BRI is one of the ambitious projects to indept around the world. My point in this regard is that BRI is within the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and whereas Asian Development Bank and World Bank in the other side. Let see these two perspectives. What are the toms and conditions? However, Do you see any toms and conditions of the BRI? We can compare by the interest rate from World Bank, ADB and BRI. It's great difference. For that reason and many others it is a fictitious. These ways are only to enhance president Xi might help create a positive attitude to get through BRI a collaborative mutual development and peace. Positive attitude and implementation with faith might be a paradigm shift not only development of the Nepalese communities, but also to the region and the world. For that many reasons and the others President Xi Jin Ping's visit to Nepal is one of the important milestone.

       摘要
       中国是尼泊尔友邦。今天，我们怀着愉快的心情，欢迎中华人民共和国主席习近平先生来访。习近平访尼是本地区和全球和平与繁荣的开端。为了人类更伟大的事业，中国正与所有超越地理和文化边界的国家精诚合作。习近平主席不仅是一位富有远见的领导人，而且是一位富有同情心和仁爱的人。
       尼泊尔文化：客人是上帝
       在尼泊尔文化中，客人被视为上帝。这就是我们的价值观和传统，是文化价值观最重要的精髓之一。各位兄弟、各位来宾，还有中华人民共和国主席习近平先生，我们以满心的尊重和友善欢迎你们的到来。这是我们的文化规范。我们总是保持着国内环境的干净和平和。我们的文化价值也包括在任何特殊的文化节日和迎宾活动中保持庭院的清洁。首都加德满都秉承这一传统和价值观，干净祥和，热情欢迎中华人民共和国主席习近平的访问。
       习近平访尼合作倡议
       习近平希望与世界社区在尊重尊严和价值观的基础上建立一种团结协作的共存意识。这是习近平思想的精髓，对世界有着重要意义。“一带一路”是全球发展的必由之路。
       尼泊尔是一个内陆国家。在印度禁运之后的几天，特别是在2015年宪法生效之后，尼泊尔与中国签署了一项过境条约。尼泊尔需要发展基础设施，但一个国家不可能完成，必须通过团结协作。这一举措不仅激发了中国人民的爱心与激情，还推动了习近平主席的历史性来访。我希望这将有助于进入北方和世界。“一带一路”不仅是连接中国和印度的重要纽带，也是连接世界的重要纽带。这条通往喜马拉雅走廊（Himalayan corridor）的铁路对南亚社区来说是最重要的，同时也是全球和平与繁荣的起点。与之有关的地缘政治不仅超越国界，而且渗透进了其他活动中。然而，迄今为止，这一倡议仍涉及到地缘政治和国际关系。这是世界上最重要的互联互通途径之一，不仅关系到经济发展，也关系到人类的安全与和平。中国和尼泊尔陆路交通网络的互联互通影响了东亚、中东、南亚、西亚的国际关系，保证了与印度大陆的贸易。尽管如此，还有一种观点认为，“一带一路”可能会给尼泊尔和印度的关系带来负面影响。
       这就是为什么说“一带一路”还只是个梦想。为了实现这个梦想，中国和尼泊尔正在合作。这种互联互通改变了南亚乃至全球人类的生活。互联互通是经济发展的关键。在当今世界，贸易比政治更重要。我们向中国人学习到的是，要想繁荣，就要先打好经济基础。和平终会到来，和平繁荣并非遥不可及。
       我们正在讨论修建拉萨-吉隆（Kerung）铁路。印度希望利用这条铁路线与欧洲、中东和西亚进行贸易。届时，尼泊尔将成为这一地区的中转站。因此，这条铁路线对尼泊尔来说将是一个绝佳的机会。中国共产党也知道，为了南亚的繁荣，尼泊尔的大门必须打开。我们深知尼泊尔在“一带一路”建设中的首要任务和重要作用。我们也知道，根据我们的外交政策，基于国家利益，我们必须与邻国保持平衡。尼泊尔政府对这一点非常清楚和清醒。
      “一带一路”倡议与习近平访尼
       “一带一路”倡议就是要与周边国家携手合作。迄今为止，人类有两种模式经验。一种是损人利己。另一种是相互协作、共同发展。第一种模式强加霸权、并不常见也不会成功、会造成贫富差距。这是中国领导人的愿景倡议就是要与周边国家携手合作。迄今为止，人类有两种模式经验。一种是损人利己。另一种是相互协作、共同发展。第一种模式强加霸权、并不常见也不会成功、会造成贫富差距。我们很高兴看到中国领导下的第二种愿景。
       要想全球和平，那么地区和平是很重要的。我们于2017年加入“一带一路”。虽然时间上来看比较晚，但现在的情况很好。因为我们有稳定的政府和强有力的领导。
     “一带一路”倡议及其他
       刚开始，西方很多外国人不相信中国可以建成青海-拉萨铁路，但是，中国凭借自己的知识、技能和技术成功建成了这条铁路。这是世界上公认的中国技术的里程碑。它享有很高国际声誉。
       尽管如此，我们在尼泊尔和印度仍有关于“一带一路”前景的讨论，这是我们在全球范围内开展的雄心勃勃的项目之一。我想说的是，“一带一路”属于亚洲基础设施投资银行实施项目，而非亚洲开发银行和世界银行。让我们看看以下两个方面。什么是目标和条件?您是否看到了共建“一带一路”的目标和条件? 我们可以通过世界银行、亚洲开发银行和“一带一路”的利率进行比较。可以看出差别很大。出于这个原因及其他原因，它又是虚构的。这些方式只是为了帮助习近平主席，以积极的态度共建“一带一路”，实现共同发展与和平。积极的态度和有信心的执行可能不仅给尼泊尔社区发展，而且给该地区和世界发展带来了一种范式转变。正因为如此，习近平主席此次对尼泊尔的访问是一个重要的里程碑。
