Pokhara International Airport is Nepal's first 4D-level international airport that meets the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization. It is a key project of China-Nepal "the Belt and Road" cooperation and is known as Nepal's "National Honor Project". The project is financed by the Export-Import Bank of China and contracted by China Engineering International Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Machinery Industry Group. The project started construction in July 2017, with a construction period of four years. The airport runway is 2500 meters long and the terminal building area is nearly 15000 square meters. The construction
of Pokhara International Airport also embodies the unremitting efforts of Red Lion Cement . Before 2018, Nepal's high-grade cement was basically imported from India, which had problems such as high price, long distance and difficult supply. The emergence of Red Lion Cement has solved all kinds of unfavorable factors in the use of cement in time. Nepal Red Lion Hope Cement Co., Ltd. was put into operation in May 2018 and began to produce OPC cement. In order to ensure the construction progress of Pokhara Airport, Red Lion Hope set up a special working class and purchased 8 bulk trucks for direct supply to the construction site. At the same time, it solved the environmental problems caused by the unpacking of bagged cement imported from India. Red Lion's high-quality cement products, strong supply capacity and good customer service have been highly recognized by the project side.
