English.news.cn (Xinhua) Editor: Chen Zhi
May 26, 2013: Nepal's former Prime Minister also Vice-Chairman of UCPN-Maoist Dr Baburam Bhattarai has said that the Chinese dream is a dream of whole humanity as well as of the Nepalese people. The former prime minister known as a Communist ideologue in his party made this statement in a recent exclusive interview with Xinhua. The Chinese dream is a dream of oppressed humanity of the world that has been dominated by foreign power for more than 200 years.
Referring to the significance of Chinese dream, Dr Bhattarai said that China needed to play a leading role in bringing peace, stability and development in the world. In the interview, he has said that the focus of development has now been shifting to east and south Asia, and China is going to lead the process through its new dream.
Comparing Chinese dream with American dream, the 59-year-old Maoist leader said that the previous so-called western dream was the domination of world in the colonial form or neocolonialism form. "But Chinese dream is ending of that domination and granting freedom to all people of the world and ensuring peace, prosperity and democracy to all. So Chinese dream is fundamentally different from the older day's dream of the western world," he opined.
The former Prime Minister Dr Bhattarai known as the architect of social and economic development said Chinese dream would contribute to the economic prosperity of Nepal and would ensure national independence and sovereignty as well.
Asked about Nepal's dream, the Maoist leader: second in command in his party, and also the key strategist during the ten-year-long people's war said that after gaining the political stability our dream of building a prosperous and develop Nepal would be realized. "If there is political stability here and if there is correct political leadership, and if there is well balanced relations with our neighboring countries China and India, then we can develop and we can realize our dream," said Dr Bhattarai.
He also said that after promulgation of a new constitution, Nepal would invite economic investment from both China and India and then Nepal would try to have some joint projects with both India and China. "In that way gradually this dream of trilateral cooperation and Nepal emerging as a vibrant bridge between India and china will be realized," he said.
Asked about the India's unwillingness to strike a trilateral cooperation between Nepal, India and China, Dr Bhattari trained in India said that a section of people everywhere would get skeptical. "I believe even in India, this opinion is slowly gaining momentum and soon there will be massive moments to have good relation between India and China, and then they have a trilateral relation with Nepal. It will take some time but ultimately it will be realized”, Bhattarai said.
While he was a prime minister of Nepal, Dr Bhattarai took initiative to bring Chinese investment in some hydropower projects, construction of a regional airport in Pokhara and construction of the certain infrastructures in the Kathmandu valley. The former prime minister has not yet visited China.
