GLOBALink | Largest China-Nepal land border crossing resumes two-way trade

The Gyirong port in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, the largest land border crossing between China and Nepal, has resumed two-way trade.

The port of Gyirong, located in the city of Xigaze, Wednesday saw the entry of six lorries carrying 825,800 yuan (about 118,321 U.S. dollars) worth of goods from Nepal.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the port was closed at the end of 2019. In July 2020, it partially reopened to allow exports to Nepal.

According to an official with the regional department of commerce, the resumption of two-way trade via the port will help boost trade and the economic development of the two countries.
