Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli pledged to boost bilateral cooperation during a high-stakes meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York. The leaders emphasized expanding Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects to deliver 'more fruits' of collaboration for both nations.
Wang, a senior Communist Party of China official, reaffirmed China's commitment to supporting Nepal's sovereignty and development path. 'China will always stand with Nepal,' he said, while praising Kathmandu's promise to prevent anti-China activities on its soil.
Oli echoed the sentiment, declaring Nepal's 'unwavering' adherence to the one-China policy and enthusiasm for cultural exchanges. Both sides aim to build a 'community with a shared future' through joint infrastructure projects and people-to-people programs—think cross-border festivals, student exchanges, and tech partnerships.
With Himalayan connectivity projects and climate resilience on the agenda, this partnership could reshape regional dynamics. Stay tuned for more mountain-high ambitions!
