New Chinese ambassador arrives

Wu Chuntai, the newly appointed Chinese ambassador to Nepal, arrived in Kathmandu to assume his duty on Thursday.

Wu replaces Yang Houlan who has been named Chinese ambassador to Burma, a more strategically significant country given the increased American attention in South East Asia in recent months.

Before being appointed ambassador to Nepal, Wu was Deputy Director General of the Department of External Security Affairs at the Chinese Foreign Ministry. nepalnews.com
