Nepali Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala Wednesday reaffirmed
Nepal's stance that Taiwan and Tibet are inalienable parts of China, and that
Nepal will never allow external forces to engage in anti-China
activities on its territory.
Koirala made the remarks in Kathmandu while meeting with a
visiting Chinese delegation headed by Liu Hongcai, deputy head of
the CPC Central Committee's International Department.
The Chinese delegation was invited by Vice-Chairman of the
Nepali Congress Party Shushil Koirala on behalf of Nepal's ruling
Seven Party Alliance.
Koirala said China has long provided aid to Nepal's development
and positively contributed to the country's peace progress,
expressing hope that the Nepal-China friendship would be passed on
to younger generations by stepping up exchanges.
The prime minister noted that the Nepali Congress Party attaches
importance to the relationship with CPC, and the party was in favor
of learning CPC's experience in governing a country, especially in
developing economy.
Liu said the CPC and the Chinese government highly appreciate
Nepal's political parties' signing the peace accord and putting the
interests of their country and people first, and wished Nepal
lasting peace and steady economic growth.
He also expressed hopes that the two countries would continue
deepening reciprocal cooperation.
