2015年CRI 两会聚焦扶贫 中国上千名滞留尼泊尔旅客回国

 

Chinese President Xi Jinping is calling for more to be done to eliminate poverty, particularly in areas which is home to the country's ethnic¹ minorities.

The comments have been made while Xi Jinping was sitting down with lawmakers from Guangxi at the National People's Congress.

At the same time, Chinese Premier² Li Keqiang has made a similar suggestion at the NPC sessions over the weekend.

His comments have come while meeting with lawmakers from Sichuan.

More than a thousand Chinese tourists have managed to return home after being stuck in Nepal for the last 4-days.

The Chinese tourists were stuck in Nepal for an extra 4-days after a Turkish Airlines flight veered³ off the runway at the Kathmandu International Airport on Wednesday.

The thousand Chinese tourists were among some 40-thousand travellers to Nepal who were affected⁴ by the shut-down of Nepal's only international airport.

Another thousand Chinese tourists are still waiting to get back home.

A passenger plane with 78 people onboard has skidded⁵ off the runway amid heavy rains at an airport in the southern Indian city of Hubli.

None aboard the SpiceJet flight were hurt.

Officials with the Indian budget airline say the pilot wasn't able to control the aircraft after touching⁶ down in the heavy rain.

The airport in Hubli doesn't have an advanced instrument landing system, which makes it more difficult for pilots to land the plane.
