Beijing, February 23th—Chen Zhou, Vice-minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, held a video call here today on the afternoon with Madhav Kumar Nepal, Chairman of Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Socialist) and former Prime Minister.

Chen spoke positively of the relations between the two countries and the two Parties. He said the Chinese side will continue to support the Nepalese people on independently choosing a development path. The CPC is willing to, together with the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Socialist), strengthen experience exchange in party governance and state administration, propel cooperation in various areas under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, and push for healthy and stable development of bilateral relations.

Nepal said the Nepalese side firmly follows the one-China principle, and will by no means allow any force to carry out anti-China separatist activities in Nepal's territory. Nepal looked forward to stepping up cooperation and exchanges with the CPC to make active contributions to promoting Nepal-China friendship.
