Chinese Ambassador Zhang Maoming visited Nepal’s Minister for Education, Science and Technology, Sasmit Pokharel, at his Singha Durbar office to discuss bilateral cooperation in education, science, technology, and sports. Key topics included developing and digitizing education infrastructure. Separately, British Ambassador Rob Fenn also met Pokharel, discussing a wide-ranging education partnership. The foreign ministry is reportedly miffed at being circumvented for these visits.
