Nepal will request China to open more border points for bilateral trade when the customs officials of the two countries meet in Kathmandu on Tuesday. Nepali officials are also planning to request their Chinese counterparts for reopening the Tatopani-Khasa route--the main inland trade route with between two countries that was damaged by the April 25 earthquake. Another major trade route in the north, Rasuwagadhi-Kerung, has recently come into operation through which Nepal is now bringing in fuel gifted by China.
