KATHMANDU: Nepal signed its first ever fuel agreement with China Wednesday for Beijing to supply petroleum to ease a crippling shortage, after protests blocked imports from sole supplier India, an official said.
“We have signed a MOU (memorandum of understanding) with China National United Oil Corporation to supply the petroleum products that Nepal needs,” said Deepak Baral, spokesman at the state-run Nepal Oil Corporation.
