Beijing/Kathmandu: Amid a flurry of arrivals from the United States and a senior official’s recent meetings with Tibetan refugee leaders in Kathmandu, Beijing has indirectly warned Kathmandu that Nepal’s One-China policy should not be affected by any other factors—internal or external.
During the 14th meeting of Nepal-China Bilateral Consultative Mechanism, according to at least two participants, the Chinese side expressed their reservations about US Under Secretary of State Uzra Zeya’s visits to at least two Tibetan camps in Nepal, reports The Kathmandu Post.
“The Chinese side stopped short of mentioning the meeting but the message was by and large clear,” a participant of the meeting told the Post on the condition of anonymity.
The Nepali side, according to officials, reconveyed to the Chinese side that Nepal strongly adheres to One-China policy and it is committed to not allowing its soil against its neighbours.
“The Chinese side appreciated Nepal’s commitment,” the official told the newspaper.
