China to Nepal: Ask for any support, We will provide it pleasingly
Within hours after its much awaited arrival in Kathmandu, the Chinese high profile delegation led by Standing Committee member of politburo of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Chinas National Security Chief, Mr. Zhou Yongkang began holding several rounds of political meetings, August 16, 2011.
Zhou is the ninth ranking leader of the powerful Politburo Standing Committee of CPC.
Along with Pakistan and Sri Lanka, now China takes Nepal as a Frontline state. The paradigm shift in Chinese policy has been observed since Nepal was declared a Republic and which was immediately followed by recurring anti-China protests in the streets of Kathmandu, say Nepals China experts.
Mr. Zhou who is currently leading a sixty member delegation from China has been sent to Nepal as the special emissary of Chinas paramount leader and President Hu Jintao.
The delegation separately met with the top leaders of Unified Maoists Party and the Nepali Congress. The delegation held a separate meeting with Foreign Minister Upendra Yadav.
The Chinese delegation in the series of meetings advised Nepali leadership to unite for the cause of peace and constitution in the country.
We are ready to extend support as much as Nepal wants and in any capacity, we urge Nepali political parties to unite for the cause of peace, prosperity and stability, this was the message the Chinese delegation imparted in all of the meetings.
In the meeting with Foreign Minister Upendra Yadav, Mr. Zhou is quoted as saying, China will always stand along with Nepal for peace, prosperity, stability and development. We are ready to support as per your demand.
Minister Yadav reiterated Nepals commitment to One China policy and pleasingly hailed China for standing along with Nepal all along. Meeting with Yadav took place at Hotel Yak & Yeti.
Before meeting Minister Yadav, the delegation had held discussions with Nepali Congress and Maoists Leaders in Hotel Soaltee.
We found the Chinese side worried over the state of peace process in Nepal, commented President Sushil Koirala of Nepali Congress. The delegation had held an hour long meeting with the NC team.
Senior NC leaders Sher Bahadur Deuba, Ram Chandra Poudel, Prakash Man Singh, Dr. Ram Saran Mahat, Arjun Nar Singh K.C., Krishna Prasad Sitaula and Ms. Chitra Lekha Yadav had accompanied President Koirala at the meeting.
Relation with China is of highest priority. China is our trusted friend. We need Chinese support for peace and stability in Nepal, said Sushil Koirala and added, Both India and China are equal for us.
The Nepali Congress is largely perceived as a pro-India party.
Arjun Nar Singh K.C. briefed the media persons about the meeting.
We expressed our commitment to One China Policy. We also assured them that Nepal shall never be allowed to be used by anti-China elements, said K.C. and informed that the NC leaders are invited for a trip to China in the month of September.
One additional meeting with the Nepali Congress leadership has also been planned before the delegation leaves Nepal. The meeting will take place on Wednesday however, the venue has not yet been finalized.
Since the days of B.P. Koirala, Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of China have been sharing brotherly relations, reports quote NC source as saying and adds The meeting is aimed at further strengthening the longstanding ties between the two parties.
The meeting with Nepali Congress will be led by Wang Jiarui who serves as the director of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Wang is also a member of the Chinese delegation.
Mr. Wang was in Kathmandu some years back.
In the meeting with the leaders of Unified Maoists party led by Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Mr. Zhou expressed unhappiness over the unexpected resignation of Prime Minister Jhal Nath Khanal.
We were feeling odd visiting here because the PM had resigned on the eve of our trip to Nepal. We decided to continue with the visit considering our relations at the people level, Zhou was quoted as saying by vice chairman Babu Ram Bhattarai.
Bhattarai, senior vice chairman Mohan Baidya, General Secretary Ram Bahadur Thapa Badal, Secretaries C.P. Gajurel and Posta Bahadur Bogati were also present at the meeting.
China is the second largest economy in the world. It wants to extend support to Nepal in all its capacity and share its achievements with us, said Gajurel and added, We have received an invitation to participate at an international level conference taking place in Beijing this November.
Thus Beijings interest in Nepal is expected to increase in the days ahead. This could be the beginning of the beginning, opine China observers in Nepal.
