Chinese-invested hydropower plants have played a crucial role in securing electricity security in the kingdom, he said.

“Roads stretching over 3,000 to 4,000 km have been built under Chinese support. If we did not receive a budget from China, what do we have for building? Yet, the expressway and other investments –hydropower dams, if we don’t have investment from China, where we have power for consumption,” the Prime Minister said.
