[Notice] The Araniko Project's summer course on Exploring China's societal, cultural and business dynamics: in the context of Nepal.
Starting from August 1, 2023, The Araniko Project in collaboration with The British College is conducting summer school course on Exploring China’s societal, cultural and business dynamics: in the context of Nepal.
The course runs from August 1 to 11 and seeks to explore China’s business ecosystem through lens of society, economy and culture. The program is designed for current undergraduate or postgraduate business students studying in Nepal who wish to gain basic insights on doing business in China.
The summer school course is a project by The Araniko Project to steer conversations about China beyond macro-level politics to focus on business, enterprises, traders, and society and cultural components that influences or shapes the way Nepal - China relations is conducted at the ground level.

On the first day of the program, that also happens to be the 68th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between Nepal and China (August 1, 1955), the full-house attendance saw more than 80 participants from diverse backgrounds. The guest lecture session was conducted with Mr. Zhang Jinxiang, CEO of Nepal Horizon International and President of Nepal - China Chamber of Commerce, Qinghai.
The guest lecture was focused on Mr. Zhang’s experience of living in Nepal for 17 years. Mr. Zhang came to Nepal as a tourist and then eventually settled in the country. He expressed his experience working in Nepal with Nepali people, the challenges he faced and prospects there are for Nepali business to better export to China. Mr. Zhang also shared his experience of successfully exporting the first batch of haylage with total of 80 tons of silage to Tibet to feed animals during winter.
The session was followed with a lengthy Q&A discussion demonstrating much enthusiasm and curiosity from the participants.
The program will run for four days a week for two weeks (August 1 - 11). The registration for this course is closed due to limited capacity of the hall and a LOT of participants (to which we are immensly grateful for showing interest). In that regard, do follow the blog for more updates on the progress of the couse.
