The Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal is a landlocked country in the South Asian mountain zone, also known as the birthplace of Buddhism, one of the three major religions of the world.

记者：你好，卡纳尔主席，中国和尼泊尔是世代友好、全面合作的亲密邻邦。你在尼泊尔总理执政期间，为推动中尼全面合作伙伴关系不断向前发展作出了杰出贡献。你认为：中尼两国青少年应该如何传承两国的宝贵友谊？青少年在促进文化交流发展如何贡献自己的智慧和力量?
Hello, Mr. Jhala Nath Khanal. China and Nepal have been good neighbors and close partners for generations. During the time when you were the Prime Minister of Nepal, you have made remarkable contributions to China and Nepal’s comprehensive partnership development. In your opinions, how will the youth of both countries carry on the traditional friendship between China and Nepal? How will they contribute their wisdom and efforts to promote cultural exchanges?

“感谢你们对尼泊尔和中国一系列问题的关心。我们必须自豪地说，中国和尼泊尔没有任何争议的问题，尼泊尔和中国都拥有庞大的青少年人群，尼泊尔是释迦摩尼佛祖诞生的地方也是佛教哲学的起始点，中国是世界上信仰佛教人口最多的国家，包括很多青年，在这样的基础上，我们增加信任，建立一个新的里程碑，来加强我们在各个领域睦邻友好关系的发展。”卡纳尔谈到。
Thank you for your queries concerning this important issue of Nepal and China relation. We must be proud that Nepal and China do not have any conflicted issued. Both countries have huge youth populations. Nepal is the birth place of Sakyamuni Buddha and Buddhism, one of the major religions around the world. China also has a great population of Buddist disciples as well as young people. With this similar base, we improved mutual trust with a new milestone. We will develop good neighboring relations in all areas.” Mr. Khanal said.
“作为一带一路南亚区域内的国家，尼泊尔将如何着力吸引外资促进本国经济增长？重点对外开放的合作领域有哪些？尼泊尔能否在2022年脱离不发达国家之列，成为发展中国家？”记者问。
“As a Southern Asian country on the ‘One Belt and One Road’ Project, how will Nepal attract foreign investment to promote national economic growth? What are the key sectors to open for foreign investment and cooperation? Will Nepal become a developing country by 2022?” the journalist asked.
卡纳尔说：“尼泊尔是一个自由党和共产党共同管理的国家。我们现在需要的是“稳定的政府”，政府将会出台很多有利投资商的政策着力吸引外资促进我国经济增长，关于对投资开放领域，尼泊尔的水电范围是不受限制的，水泥生产，中药种植和药品研發，以及教育產業的投資也是外商投资的重要领域。到2022年的时候，我们希望可以成为发展中国家。”
Mr. Khanal said: “Nepal is a country under the joint management of the Liberal Party and the Communist Party.What we need now is the ‘stable government’. The government will introduce more favorite policies to attract foreign investments. Nepal does not limit the foreign investments in hydroelectricity, cement production, traditional Chinese medicine planting and drug development. Hopefully, by 2022, we hope to become a developing country.

对中国的“一带一路”战略和亚投行，对此你有什么期待？
What is your expectation for China’s “One Belt and One Road” Project and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank?
卡纳尔表示：由中国提出的“一带一路”战略对尼泊尔国家经济发展提供巨大动力。这是一个非常基于前瞻性和明智的战略方向。事实上，尼泊尔政府和人民为此受到了极大鼓舞和热情，“一带一路”项目将是对尼泊尔的经济发展的生命线。
Mr. Khanal expressed: “The economic development of China is boon to the economic development of Nepal. Moreover, the spectacular rise of the Indian economic growth and the increasing economic cooperation between China and India has created very positive atmosphere to the desired growth for the Nepalese economy. In fact, the “One Belt and One Road” initiative will surely bring positive aspects to Nepalese economy.
记者问：“尼泊尔是世界上幸福指数最高的国家之一，别样的文化背景、狂野的原始森林、神秘的原始部落、崇高的宗教信仰、美丽的自然风光、世界最美的日出，这些都是上天给尼泊尔最好的礼物，除此之外，你认为尼泊尔还具有哪些重要的地缘价值和优势？
“Nepal is one of the world's highest countries in the world. Nepal has different cultural backgrounds, wild forests, mysterious tribes, noble religion, beautiful natural scenery and the world's most beautiful sunrise, those are the best gifts God has given to Nepal. In your opinions, what other geopolitical advantages and benefits Nepal has as its unique characteristics?”

“这是一个重要的问题。大家都知道，佛陀出生于蓝毗尼，这将有助于尼泊尔建立“和平圣殿”的形象，所以尼泊尔成为世界上幸福指数最高的国家之一。美丽的自然风光、世界最美的日出，这些都是上天给尼泊尔最好的礼物。尼泊尔文化在歷史上连接中国和印度造就了尼泊尔最奇妙的地缘政治优势。” 卡纳尔谈到。
“This is an important issue. As we all know, Buddha was born in Lumbini, which helps Nepal to establish the image of the ‘Temple of Peace’; therefore, Nepal has become one of the countries with the highest happiness index in the world. Beautiful natural scenery and the most beautiful sunrise are the best gifts from God for Nepal. Nepal's culture has historically connected with China and India, which also created Nepal's marvelous geopolitical advantages.”
最后，记者向卡纳尔赠送中国著名书画家闯宝君山水画作品，示意中国和尼泊尔友好关系比山高比水深。对于一个和尼泊尔没有任何争议问题的国家--中国，卡纳尔期待着再次访问中国，为推进中国和尼泊尔关系的友好发展再作新的贡献。
Finally, the journalists presented a Chinese traditional painting artwork to Mr. Khanal to express the great friendship between China and Nepal. As a friendly neighbor, Mr. Khanal wishes to visit China again in the near future to further promote China and Nepal’s relationship.
