Nepal to keep one-China policy


Nepal's new government has promised to continue its "one China" policy and said it will not allow any anti-Chinese activities in the Himalayan nation, a minister said.
Officials gave the pledge in talks with China's Vice Foreign Minister Wu Dawei in Kathmandu, who had wrapped up a three-day visit, Nepal's Foreign Minister Khadag Prasad Oli said on Saturday.
"We assured the Chinese delegation that we will abide by the 'one-China' policy and will not allow any activities against China in our territory," Oli said. Nepal sits between India and China.
The "one-China" doctrine maintains that the only Chinese state is the People's Republic of China. Beijing views Taiwan as a renegade province.
Oli said talks with the 10-member Chinese delegation also focused on widening bilateral relations and the government's peace process with Maoist rebels.
