中国武警救援队赴尼泊尔救灾

Chinese armed transport police have arrived in Nepal to help repair the rain-ravaged China-Nepal Highway at the request of Nepal's government.

The immigration minister of Kodari in Nepal Parker says they are grateful for China's help.

"China is our good friend. When we are in sorrow, China is always helping us. So we are very grateful to the Chinese government and people and all our friends in China."

The China-Nepal Highway is more than 940 kilometers in length with over 110 kilometers in Nepal.

Bridges have been damaged by floods and mudslides and giant rocks have rolled down from mountains and blocked the road.

This is the second time that Chinese armed transport police have entered Nepal, with the first time being in early May after an 8.1-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on April 25.

The China-Nepal Highway was severely damaged in the quake.
