Chinese Army team Arrives, India asks another air strip in East Nepal
Interesting piece considering all the hype of rabid anti-India sentiments in Nepal claimed by many people!
TGW
Pretty worried and suspicious Chinese establishment has sent another Military Delegation to Nepal.
The Chinese delegation has come close on the heels of Nepals Defense Minister Mrs. Bidya Devi Bhandaris official request made to India to construct Air-Strip for Nepal Army in Surkhet district, that claim security experts, could be time permitting, used by the Indian Air Force to target Tibet.
Much to the dismay of the Chinese delegation that landed in Kathmandu December 14, 2009, claim sources at the Ministry of Defense in Kathmandu, India has already asked Nepal government to allow it to construct one more similar Air-Strip in the Eastern plains of Nepal presumably to target Tibet again from the Nepali soil.
How can Nepal deny?
The Chinese delegation that landed in Kathmandu on Tuesday is led by Major Jia Jioning who is the deputy director of the Foreign Relation cell at the Ministry of Defense, China.
Reports claim that the delegation will enquire about the purpose of the air-strips to be constructed by India in Nepal.
The delegation will also meet Foreign Minister Mrs. Sujata Koirala, Defense Minister Mrs. Bidya Devi Bhandari, Defense Secretary Nabin Ghimire and Chief of the Army Staff General Chhatra Man Singh Gurung.
The team is set to visit Lumbini.
All in all, the visit of the Chinese team to Nepal will just be a luxury trip.
No space for China in Nepal. Bear it with Chinese friends.
