Kathmandu, Nov 18: Senior Vice chair of CPN (UML) Ishwar Pokharel has emphasized that the relationship between Nepal and China should be extended to the people’s level.
Addressing a special programme organized by the Huai’an Province government on Sunday, Pokharel, who is on a visit to China at the invitation of the Chinese Communist Party’s Foreign Affairs Department, said that it is necessary to increase sisterly relations between the provinces and local levels of the two countries in order to expand the relationship at the peoples’ level of the two countries.
“There is a deep historical relationship between China and the government of Nepal and the Chinese Communist Party and the UML. Now it is necessary to expand relations at the public level as well”, he said. He recalled that the visit of the Chief Minister of Lumbini province last week to the sister province of Sichuan and the head of Tibet’s Nachu province to the sister city of Tokha Municipality contributed significantly to strengthening the relationship between the two countries.
