KATHMANDU: The government has reiterated that Nepal remains committed to the ‘One-China policy’.
Speaking at a press briefing on Friday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Lok Bahadur Poudel Chhetri said Nepal’s position on the policy remains unchanged.
The clarification comes after questions were raised in Parliament over Nepal’s ‘One-China Policy’ following the government’s permission for the celebration of the Dalai Lama’s birthday in Nepal.
Chhetri said Nepal has a consistent policy of not allowing its territory to be used against the interests of any neighboring or friendly country.
“Nepal is committed to the ‘One-China Policy’,” Chhetri said, adding that Nepal would not allow its land to be used against the interests of any friendly nation.
“Nepal remains steadfast in its established policy of not allowing its land to be used against the interests of any neighboring country. In line with this commitment, the government’s policy and position remain unchanged,” he said.
