China and Nepal signed a framework agreement on December 4 to enhance cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, facilitating major investments in infrastructure projects like roads, airports, and rail lines.

Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
