He mentioned that Nepal needs big investment and new technology for infrastructure development. He said that the Chinese government will support the introduction of new technologies and large investments. Prime Minister Dahal insisted that Nepal is not getting the investment as promised by the Chinese government because the government's policies and regulations are a factor, so the government is committed to bringing in more and more investments by simplifying the rules and regulations. He also requested to facilitate the export of Ayurvedic medicines, vegetables, tea, meat and other products exported from Nepal to China. Prime Minister Dahal expressed his commitment that the government will not allow Nepali land to be used against its neighbors.
