“During the meeting, I put forth the issue of strategic partnership with emphasis,” Dahal said, adding that “the Indian Prime Minister and Chinese President said Nepal’s proposal on strategic partnership is significant and they agreed to it”.
Noting that Buddha, Pashupatinath and Janaki connected Nepal, India and China, Prachanda was quoted as saying that Nepal can play a role of a bridge between India and China and help them build good relationship at present also.
He further said Nepal was inching towards the goals of development and wanted to establish a balanced, friendly and strategic relationship with both the neighbours, the report said.
The Nepalese premier also expressed his hope that the trilateral meeting could play a significant role in setting up an “epochal relationship” between Nepal, India and China, it said.
