India Today
A Nepalese government official stated that issues concerning Chinese border encroachment would be handled diplomatically.
Nepal has said that the issue related to the reported Chinese encroachment of its territory in the Western part of the country would be dealt with diplomatically.
A government report, leaked to a section of the international media, has accused China of encroaching into Western Nepal along the two countries’ shared border.
Nepal’s Communication Minister and government spokesperson Gyanendra Karki said on Tuesday that the issue relating to reported border encroachment by China “will be dealt with on the basis of reality not on reports.”
“Our borders, whether it is with India or China, if there are any issues about that, then we are ready to resolve those through diplomatic means and these problems should not arise and the government would work diligently on it,” he said.
Karki said during a regular press briefing that the government would study the matter and bring out an official statement on the issue.
“We should deal with the matter on the basis of reality at the appropriate times, not on the basis of reports,” he told journalists.
