Kathmandu, Jan. 14
Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachand' said on Sunday
that Nepal has a clear point of view regarding 'Taiwan independence' and the
island is an integral part of China.
"This has been clarified in the joint statement issued
during my visit to China. We want to say again that we are against Taiwan
independence," he said while inaugurating the Chinese New Year in
Kathmandu.
Stating that that Nepal and China are close neighbours and
trusted friends, PM Prachanda said that the relations between the two countries
are strong based on the principles of peaceful coexistence and Panchasheel.
"Nepal is committed to the One China principle. Our
commitment in this regard is clear and firm. Changes in internal and external
affairs will not affect our commitment in any way," he said.
Making it clear that Nepali land will not be used against
China, he said that the civilisations of the two countries are not only
connected by rivers and snow chains, but common culture and people-level
relations are also important.
