Abstract
China emerged as the largest trade and investment partner of Nepal in a short span. Several internal and external factors have facilitated the growing closeness between these two economies. In this context, this chapter attempts to explain Nepal-China relations in the changing contour of diplomatic and economic association. It delves deep into some of the factors that led China to be the largest investor in Nepal in a very short time. The growing bilateral trade between Nepal and China is also analysed here. Due attention has also been paid in examining Nepal’s participation in BRI.
