apanese State Minister for Foreign Affairs Nobuo Kishi on Wednesday informed Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal about steps that have been taken to finance the Nagdhunga-Naubise Tunnel Road Project, according to PM Dahal’s personal website.

Kishi said that works have started to issue Rs18 billion loan following PM Dahal’s request for Japanese aid to build the 2.5-km tunnel on a key highway serving Kathmandu.
The tunnel road planned to be dug under the western rim of Kathmandu Valley will eliminate the need to travel over the tortuous mountain route which is now the main access to the Capital.
Japanese State Minister Kishi is currently visiting Nepal to participate in celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica) has conducted a feasibility study of the proposed project and identified it as being feasible, said a Jica official.
