Nepal Engages China to Reopen Tatopani Border After Flood Disruptions
Nepal is negotiating with China to reopen the Tatopani border point, closed since August 26 due to floods and landslides. Infrastructure Minister Sunil Lamsal reported that Nepal's side of Tatopani has reopened, but China has not yet resumed operations. The Rasuwagadhi border, also affected by a glacial collapse causing over 1,450 deaths, remains damaged. The government is working to restore transport services at both key transit points connecting Nepal with Tibet amid ongoing natural disaster impacts.
