Nepal’s Prime Minister, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, recently concluded his week-long visit to China, which was expected to address critical issues such as Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects, cross-border energy trade, and past agreements. However, the agreements signed during this visit did not cover these key areas. Instead, they focused on various other aspects of bilateral cooperation.
The agreements were the result of delegation-level talks between Prime Minister Dahal and Chinese Premier Li Qiang. While some of the expectations and commitments made by the Nepali Prime Minister were not included in the agreements, they may find their way into a joint communiqué.
The discussions comprehensively reviewed the state of bilateral relations, expressing satisfaction with the close ties between the two nations. The emphasis was on strengthening economic, trade, and people-to-people cooperation.
Interestingly, there was no official statement from the Chinese side regarding the meetings and agreements signed during the visit.
Here are the key agreements and MoUs signed during the visit:
Despite these agreements, some critics argue that Nepal is struggling to balance its geopolitical interests, particularly in maintaining a non-aligned foreign policy. Strengthening diplomatic capabilities and adhering to non-alignment are seen as crucial for Nepal’s international relations.
