A two-day China Education Exhibition kicked off Saturday at the Birendra International Convention Center in Kathmandu in a bid to provide information forthe Nepalese students willing to study in China.

"The Chinese government has been providing opportunities and scholarship to the Nepalese students studying in China for many years, who made great contributions to their homeland after they returned back from China," he noted, adding that "these persons with advanced knowledge, technology and ability are the excellent in their work as a result of China's high-level education."

He hoped the Chinese side will provide more chances and scholarship for the Nepalese students who want to study in China in the future.
