How well do Nepal and China know each other?

China's continuous rise in recent decades has affected the way countries around the world view the world's second-largest economy. Nepal, being one of China's immediate neighbours and having some important historical ties, has also seen major developments in Nepal-China bilateral relations during the past decades. However, without having a better understanding of China and its priorities for/from Nepal, the latter is less likely to be able to take full benefits of this important bilateral relationship.

In this episode, our researcher Aneka Rebeca Rajbhandari hosts Amish Raj Mulmi to explore to what extent Nepal and China know each other and what could be done to help these two neighbours better understand each other.

"Audio Files" podcasts are conceptualized and produced by Nepal Institute for Policy Research (NIPoRe), a Kathmandu-based policy think-tank that works on high-priority policy issues from Nepal and Asia.
