“China, Nepal and India are important neighbours to each other. We hope these three could work together, have some sound interactions and achieve common development,” Lu added.
Talking to the envoys from different countries on Tuesday, Oli said that independent foreign policy and balanced conduct of relations would be the hallmarks of Nepal’s external engagements.

Nepal has approved China’s Belt and Road project opposed by India due to the route of its artery which goes through disputed Kashmir.
China’s aid to Nepal has risen sharply and it is engaged in building infrastructure.
