STORYLINE:

A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) overseas tour was held in the Nepali capital on Tuesday, enchanting the Nepali audience with a variety of activities.

The treatment of lung diseases through dietary therapy and Chinese medicinal herbs as well as TCM preparations were presented by doctors from the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Southwest Medical University in Luzhou City of southwest China's Sichuan Province.

The doctors also demonstrated Baduanjin, a traditional form of Chinese aerobic exercise, along with some Nepalis who once studied in China.

During the event, the Chinese hospital signed agreements with related schools of Nepal's Tribhuvan University and Kathmandu University.

Mohan Bahadur Basnet, Nepal's former minister for health and population, urged the country's doctors, professors and researchers to receive "the maximum knowledge and information from China and Chinese experts" and prepare a long-term plan for the development of traditional medicine.

Wang Xin, charge d'affaires at the Chinese Embassy in Nepal, said that the Chinese government has always developed TCM with an open mind and vision and is committed to promoting exchanges, mutual learning and cooperation between TCM and modern medicine.
