Prime Minister Returns From China
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On December 31, 2009, late this evening, upon arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport after completing his six-day visit to China, speaking to reporters, Prime Minister Madhav Nepal has said that his visit to China has enhanced Nepal-China relations and served as a milestone in the history of relations between the two countries.
This time, Madhav Nepal has stopped short of directly saying that his government is competent to draft a new constitution and complete the peace process but said indirectly saying that the Chinese leaders have wished Nepal to draft a new constitution in time and conclude the peace process logically and successfully. However, Madhav Nepal has frozen all sorts of activities to this end since he became a Prime Minister.
The Chinese are concerned very much anti-China activities in Nepal. So, Madhav Nepal has to repeatedly reiterate his stand on Taiwan and Tibet that these two countries separated by hundreds of thousands of kilometers are the integral parts of China and he would never allow the territory of Nepal to use for any activities against China. What authority Madhav Nepal has to say so?
Madhav Nepal also has succeeded to attract the attention of the Chinese to the direct investment in water resources, information technology, transportation and infrastructure development, agriculture, tourism, health, human resource development, and poverty reduction aiming at neutralizing the growing Indian investment in the Nepalese economy.
In addition to his other duties, Speaker Subhas Nemwang has made it his duty to escort the Prime Minister to the departure lounge at the airport when he departs for a foreign trip and escort him back to home from the airport when the Prime Minister returns from a foreign visit.
