China and Nepal should always maintain mutual understanding and support on issues related to each other’s core interests and major concerns, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Saturday during a meeting with Nepalese Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” in Hangzhou, capital city of east China’s Zhejiang Province.
China attaches great importance to China-Nepal relations and is willing to strengthen the synergy of development strategies with the Nepalese side and push forward new progress in bilateral relations, Xi said.
China and Nepal have achieved positive results in Belt and Road cooperation, and the trans-Himalayan Multi-Dimensional Connectivity Network has begun to take shape, he noted.
The Chinese president urged both sides to focus on promoting infrastructure connectivity, expanding transit transportation cooperation, and helping Nepal transform from a “land-locked country” to a “land-linked country” at an early date.
He said China encourages Chinese enterprises to invest in Nepal, promotes Nepal’s exports to China, is willing to strengthen the exchange of experience in governance with Nepal, and provides assistance within its capacity for Nepal’s economic and social development.
China and Nepal have broad common interests in international and regional affairs, he said, adding that China is willing to strengthen multilateral cooperation with Nepal, safeguard the common interests of the two countries and developing countries, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
The Nepalese prime minister expressed gratitude for China’s help in Nepal’s economic construction, poverty alleviation and COVID-19 response. Nepal firmly adheres to the one-China policy and will not allow any force to use its territory to engage in acts that undermine China’s sovereignty and security, he said.
Nepal highly appreciates and will actively participate in the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and will push forward the construction of the trans-Himalayan Multi-Dimensional Connectivity Network, which will greatly help Nepal’s national economic development, he said.
Nepal supports a series of important concepts and initiatives put forward by Xi and is willing to work with China to promote the development of the international order in a more just and rational direction, safeguard the common interests of developing countries and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, he added.
