  53 sec to read

April 8: Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi jointly inaugurated the Integrated Customs Point (ICP) of Birgunj remotely from New Delhi-based Hyderabad House on Saturday, April 7.  The ICP was set up with the Indian assistance to facilitate import and export of goods between the two countries.

After the inauguration, PM Oli pointed out to the need of such ICPs as well as road, rail and water networks between the two countries for the promotion of bilateral trade.

"We have discussed about opening four ICPs," said Oli during a press meet held after the inauguration during his three-day state visit to India. The other three ICPs at Biratnagar, Bhairahawa and Nepalgunj are currently under construction.

During the occasion, PM Oli said that although Nepal and India are geographically close, there are lots of hurdles in trade due to poor infrastructure.

"Discussions were held with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about opening new roadways, railways and waterways," added Oli.
