The Chinese Embassy here has remarked that the Chinese side wishes Nepal and India could solve their territory disputes on Kalapani through friendly consultations and negotiations.
When asked about the new unveiled political map by the Indian government incorporating Kalapani inside Indian borders which makes the Nepal-India boarder dispute growing up, what is the comments of the Chinese side?
The Embassy spokesman said that the Chinese side has always respected for sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nepali side and the Chinese side expects resolving the dispute amicably.
In another question on media reports about Chinese encroachment of 36 hectare of Nepali territory that appeared in some local media, the spokesman said, “We have also noticed some irresponsible media and individual groups claiming China also encroached Nepali land. These accuses are baseless and totally aims to confuse right and wrong and divert public attentions.” “China and Nepal signed the Boundary Treaty in 1961 and the boundary has been delimited and demarcated. Over the years, the two sides have a good cooperation in matters such as the boundary and dry ports affairs.”
“In October this year, President Xi Jinping paid a successful state visit to Nepal. During the visit, the two sides signed the Agreement on the Boundary Management System. China is willing to further strengthen cooperation with the Nepali side on boundary affairs to avoid interference from the outside and promote common development.”
“Any attempt to undermine China-Nepal relations won’t be achievable,” the spokesman said.
