Nepal unity elusive, China delegation may return empty-handed
30th December, 2020 10:19:29
A Chinese delegation in Nepal, led by the Chinese Communist Party’s foreign affairs committee, may be forced to return to Beijing without the party unity they had sought to bring between PM K P Sharma Oli’s faction and the rival Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda camp.
Oli reportedly also held a meeting with Nepal President Bidya Bhandari, the details of which have not been released, said sources, reports Times of India.
The four-member Chinese delegation met former PM Sher Bahadur Deuba (Nepali Congress) on Tuesday and invited him for the hundredth anniversary celebration of the CCP in 2021. They had also met Baburam Bhattarai, also a former PM, earlier. Political watchers in Kathmandu described both meetings as intended to show that the Chinese were not interested only in NCP.
