中國要把青藏鐵路延伸至尼泊爾 (China to Extend Tibet Railway to Nepal)

西藏自治區主席表示，中國新鋪設的青藏鐵路將延伸到鄰國尼泊爾。

新華社說，西藏自治區主席向巴平措星期天在西藏首府拉薩會見尼泊爾副首相奧利時宣佈了這個計劃。奧利說，這將促進雙方的貿易往來，並有助於把邊遠的西藏和南亞地區連接起來。

青藏鐵路從中國的西部城市格爾木通往拉薩。這是世界上海拔最高的鐵路，80%的路段海拔高度達到4千米以上，某些路段甚至高於海拔5千米。該鐵路7月開通了客運服務。

按照計劃，青藏鐵路在明年要延伸到西藏的第二大城市日喀則。

新華社說，中國和尼泊爾之間有5個過境點，但是只有一條公路。

The chairman of Tibet's government says China's new railway to Tibet will be extended to neighboring Nepal.

China's Xinhua news agency says Qiangba Puncog announced the plan Sunday during a meeting with Nepalese Deputy Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa. Oli said the link will promote business exchanges and help remote Tibet connect to South Asia.

Stretching from the western Chinese city of Golmud (in Qinghai province) to Lhasa, China's railway into Tibet is the world's highest. Eighty percent of the line is above four thousand meters in altitude, and it rises above five thousand meters in some places. Passenger service opened last month.

Plans are in place to extend the railway next year from Lhasa to Xigaze, Tibet's second largest city.

Xinhua says China has five border crossings with Nepal, but only one highway.
