Spotlight On Nepal-China Relations

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's third visit to China, starting from Monday (December 2), has thrown a new spotlight on Nepal's friendly ties with China, as the visit is significant in terms of Nepal's willingness to deepen ties with its powerful northern neighbour. Both Nepal and China share a deep and long-standing friendship that dates to ancient times. Ancient trade routes across the Himalayas and cultural exchanges helped establish strong ties between the two countries. The spread of Buddhism from Nepal to China serves as proof of their shared religious and cultural heritage.
