Description
On March 2, 2016, a signing ceremony was held for the Chinese donation of 10,000 sets of induction cookers to Nepal. The ceremony was held in Kathmandu and was attended by the Chinese Ambassador to Nepal, Wu Chuntai, and the Nepalese Foreign Secretary, Sritar Sapkoda. The donation is in response to the April 2015 earthquake, which caused a national oil and natural gas shortage. The donated induction cookers will be sold by Nepal National Trade Co., Ltd. (a subsection of the Ministry of Commerce), who will work with the Ministry of finance to set the final price of the units relatively cheap. On the same day, an agreement for the donation of medical equipment worthing RMB 14 million to B.P. Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital was signed by the two sides (see project ID#72725).
