Nepal Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal to Visit China in Mid‑June

Nepal’s foreign minister, Shisir Khanal, is scheduled to travel to Beijing from 14 to 17 June 2026 at the invitation of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. The visit will include bilateral talks aimed at deepening Nepal‑China relations and expanding cooperation across trade, investment, technology, energy and cultural ties.
