вЂњAs NepalвЂ™s friendly close neighbour and development partner, China will, as always, support the Nepali people in choosing their development path independently, support Nepal in making the right choice in keeping with its national interests and peopleвЂ™s will, and continue to provide assistance and support for the countryвЂ™s socioeconomic development to the best of our capability,вЂќ Wang added during a press briefing.

вЂњHowever, such cooperation should be based on full respect for the will of the Nepali people and come with no political strings attached.вЂќ China is glad to see the international community conducting development cooperation with Nepal to contribute to its economic growth and livelihood improvement,вЂќ said Wang. On February 18, Wang Wenbin, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said China opposes coercive diplomacy and actions that pursue selfish agenda at the expense of NepalвЂ™s sovereignty and interests. This is the second time China has made such a statement over the US insistence on MCC ratification, calling it a вЂњcoercive diplomacy.вЂќ вЂњIs it a вЂgiftвЂ™ or a Pandora's box? Is it afraid that just as the old Nepali saying goes, it looks delicious, but it's actually a meat tough to chew.вЂќ вЂњHow could a вЂgiftвЂ™ be sent by an ultimatum? How could people accept such a вЂgiftвЂ™?вЂќ said Hua on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing. On February 9, the US embassy in Kathmandu said the MCC grant is вЂњa gift from the American people and a partnership between the two nations that will bring jobs and infrastructure to Nepal and improve the lives of Nepalis.вЂќ

In multiple communications to the Nepali leadership over the past few weeks, Washington has said it wants to see the MCC compact endorsed through parliament by February 28, a deadline requested by Nepali leaders themselves. The Song-Oli talks took place on the same day when Beijing warned against the USвЂ™ вЂњcoercive diplomacyвЂќ in Nepal.Д¬hinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying said on Wednesday that China opposes вЂњcoercive diplomacyвЂќ and will support the Nepali people to choose their own development path as always.ДЄccording to the Global Times, Hua made the remarks responding to the controversy over a US deadline to Nepal to pass the MCC compact through parliament by February 28. The conversation took place as Nepal is caught in a dilemma over whether to ratify through parliament the Millennium Challenge Corporation-Nepal Compact, a $500 million US grant to Nepal to be used in construction of electricity transmission lines and road maintenance. The CPN-UML attaches great importance to strengthening inter-party exchanges with the CPC, and supports each other on issues concerning each other's core interests and major concerns,вЂќ said Oli.

вЂњFor a long time, bilateral relations have been progressing on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.

While stating that China attaches great importance to strengthening inter-party exchanges with major parties in Nepal such as the CPN-UML, Song said China will, as always, support the Nepali people in their independent choice of development path, firmly safeguard national sovereignty and security interests, and continue to provide support to the best of its ability for NepalвЂ™s economic and social development.ДЄccording to the official website of the Chinese Communist PartyвЂ™s International Department, Oli said that Nepal and China are good neighbours and good brothers. According to Xinhua, ChinaвЂ™s official news agency, Song held a video call on Wednesday with Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) Chairman and former prime minister Oli to discuss further strengthening bilateral relations between the two parties and enhancing cooperation between China and Nepal in various fields.
