PM Narendra Modi's Nepal visit aimed at healing old wounds, building trust

总理纳伦德拉·莫迪访问尼泊尔，意在疗愈旧伤，重塑信任。

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is arriving in Nepal on Friday for a two-day state visit at the invitation of Nepalese Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli.

加德满都：印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪将应尼泊尔总理夏尔马·奥里的邀请，于周五抵达尼泊尔进行为期两天的国事访问。

Modi will directly land in historical Janakpur, a sub-metropolitan city, where he will offer special prayers before flying to Muktinath, a famous mountainous pilgrimage site situated near the Nepal-Tib border, and then head to Kathmandu to hold official meetings.

莫迪将直接降落在历史悠久的第二大城市贾纳克布尔，做特别祈祷，然后飞往位于尼泊尔-xz边界附近著名的山区朝圣地点—木克定，然后前往加德满都进行官方会晤。

Modi’s visit shortly after the formation of the strong leftist government led by Prime Minister Oli following the victory of the Left Alliance in the provincial and parliamentary elections in Nepal is seen here as India's endorsement of the Nepalese Constitution, promulgated two and a half years ago. Oli was among the key leaders who played a major role in drafting the 2015 constitution which failed to get India’s endorsement, resulting in an unofficial blockade against the Himalayan republic.

莫迪总理的此次访问，是在左翼联盟在尼泊尔地方选举和议会选举中胜出后，总理奥里领导的强大左翼政府组阁后不久进行的，被视为印度对两年半前颁布的尼泊尔宪法的认可。奥里是起草2015年《宪法》期间发挥重要作用的主要领导人之一，当时该宪法未能获得印度的支持，导致了印度对这个喜马拉雅共和国的非正式封锁。

Modi's third visit to Nepal as PM within a period of three years shows his commitment to the neighbourhood first policy and his tactfulness in handling foreign policy aimed at, in a way, healing the old wound. Kathmandu is decorated with welcome gates and the flags of both countries and the major roads have been black-topped to welcome the Indian leader.

莫迪在三年内第三次访问尼泊尔，显示了他恪守邻国优先的外交政策以及他在处理外交政策时的灵活手段，这在某种程度上是疗愈旧伤。加德满都到处都装饰着欢迎门和两国国旗，主干道都是泊油路，以欢迎印度领导人。

Modi will be accorded a public reception in both Janakpur and Kathmandu as well as a guard of honour by the Nepal Army. He will call on President Bidya Devi Bhandari, vice-president Nanda Bahadur Pun, and hold bilateral talks with his Nepalese counterpart, Prime Minister Oli. He will also meet the top political leaders of Nepal, including CPN-Maoist Centre chairman Prachanda, Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba and leaders of two major Madhesi parties.

莫迪将在雅纳克布尔和加德满都受到公众以及尼泊尔仪仗队的欢迎。他将拜访总统毕德亚·德威·班达利和副总统南达·巴哈杜尔·潘达里，并与尼泊尔总理奥里举行双边会谈。他还将会见尼泊尔的高层政治领导人，包括尼泊尔毛派中心主席普拉昌达、尼泊尔国大党主席舍尔巴哈德·德乌巴以及两大主要政党的领导人。

In Kathmandu, Modi and Oli will jointly lay down the foundation stone for the construction of the 900 MW Arun III project being developed by India through remote control on Saturday. Arun III is the largest hydropower project to be developed in Nepal and the government has recently granted a generation licence. The project, expected to be completed within five years, will prove to be a game changer for the Nepalese economy as it aims to provide billions of dollars to the Nepal government in the form of free electricity, royalty and tax, and India, too, would benefit through the supply of the electricity generated by the project.

在加德满都，莫迪和奥里将在周六，共同远程为印度开发的900兆瓦Arun III工程举行奠基仪式。Arun III是尼泊尔境内开发的最大的水电项目，政府最近颁发了发电许可证。项目预计将在五年内完成，将成为尼泊尔经济的变革者，旨在向尼泊尔政府提供数十亿美元的免费电力，特许权使用费和税收，印度也将通过该项目发电获益。

“Modi’s visit will certainly consolidate Nepal-India bilateral relations,” said Sunil Manandhar, former science and technology minister and central secretariat member of the ruling CPN-Maoist Centre. “The visit is taking place at such an important moment, when a stable government is in place at the centre with the slogan of attaining economic prosperity and development,” Manandhar pointed out, adding the visit would be instrumental for Nepal’s desire to attain economic progress through cooperation and assistance from India.

前科学技术部长、当政的尼泊尔毛派中心的中央秘书处成员Sunil Manandhar说，“莫迪的访问肯定会巩固尼泊尔与印度的双边关系，此次访问恰逢如此重要的时刻，我们有了稳定的中央政府，打出实现经济繁荣与发展的口号，”Manandhar还指出，莫迪此次访问将有利于尼泊尔通过合作和印度的援助实现经济发展的期望。

“This visit signifies that India accords top priority to her relations with Nepal, and our government should pay attention for getting maxmum benefit from the visit,” pointed out former foreign minister and Nepali Congress leader Prakash Sharan Mahat. Although the Oli-led CPN-UML had raised the issue of the blockade during the election campaign and nationalist slogans, after wng the election the Leftist party toned down its voice and adopted a positive attitude towards India, Mahat said. “Nepali Congress has been consistently following the policy of a ‘good neighbourhood’ and we believe in resolving any problem or issue between the two countries through diplomatic means,” he added.

前外交部长和尼泊尔国大党领导人普拉卡什·沙兰·马哈特指出:“这次访问表明，印度最优先考虑的是与尼泊尔的关系，我们的政府应该争取从这次出访实现利益最大化。”马哈特说，尽管奥里在选举活动和民族主义口号中提出了封锁的问题，但在赢得选举后，左翼党有所缓和，并对印度采取了积极的态度。他说:“尼泊尔国会一贯奉行睦邻友好政策，通过外交手段解决两国之间的任何问题。”

The visit will certainly help clear doubts between the two friendly neighbours and help build trust as well, paving the way to move forward by forging an economic partnership.

这次访问无疑将有助于消除两国友好邻邦的疑虑，有助于重塑信任，为推动建立经济伙伴关系铺平道路。

Good luck to Modi ji. Nepal is a neighbour. It is wise to keep an ally like Nepal. The $1 billion aid donated by Modi ji will help their economy to prosper and will help us in 2019 if Modi ji is voted to power by providing us with billions of job opportunities in Nepal.

祝莫迪好运。尼泊尔是邻居。把尼泊尔当做盟国是明智之举。莫迪总理捐赠的10亿美元援助将帮助他们的经济繁荣发展，如果尼泊尔向我们提供数十亿的工作机会那就是在帮我们，莫迪就能在2019年会赢得大选。
