Koirala first came to Shanghai to participate in the CIIE in 2020 and has remained in the city since.
"I want to develop a market for Nepali goods in China," he said.
"I think that staying here will give me a better chance."
Previously, he ran a souvenir store at a tourist spot in Nepal. Through talking to Chinese tourists, he's able to speak fluent Mandarin.
During Shanghai's monthslong COVID-19 outbreak in April, Koirala volunteered with his local community, helping deliver daily necessities to residents. He said that the expo has demonstrated the enthusiasm people have for Nepali goods, and he has already booked a booth for the event next year.
