China Trade Fair 2005, the first major trade fair of Chinese products in Nepal, is scheduled to be held on April 15-18 in Kathmandu, an organizer said on Sunday.

The fair will be co-organized by the Chinese Embassy in Nepal and Nepal-China Executives Council, a non-governmental and non-profit organization, aimed at promoting trade, investment and exchanges between the two countries.

"Through this fair, we hope to introduce quality products from China to the Nepalese people," said Liu Yinan, economic and commercial counsellor of the embassy.

Leading products from a broad range of categories, including automobiles, motorcycles, furniture, home appliances, electronic products, mobile phones and machinery will be on display at the fair, Liu said.

Chinese investors interested in investing in hydro-electric projects and factories in Nepal will attend the fair, which also includes fashion show and food festival, he added.

The trade fair is being organized to mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Nepal and China.
