Nepal business to china

China pledged to bolster aid and trade to Nepal on Wednesday, state media said, one day after Nepal's prime minister said his government would not tolerate anti-China protests in the Himalayan nation. Beijing 'will provide necessary support and assistance to the Nepalese side in hydropower construction, infrastructure development, health, education, human resources development and other fields,' Xinhua news agency said. China also pledged tariff reductions and other assistance, the report said, citing a joint government statement issued during the ongoing visit of Nepalese prime minister Madhav Kumar Nepal. The Nepalese leader's visit to China is his first since he took office in May. The prime minister on Wednesday met with president Hu Jintao, the last of his major official meetings before heading home to Kathmandu. 'The Nepalese government... believes that Taiwan and Tibet are inalienable parts of the Chinese territory,' Nepal told prime minister Wen Jiabao Tuesday in comments reported on Chinese state television. Nepal 'will not allow any forces to use Nepalese territory to engage in anti-China activities', he said. The Himalayan nation is home to around 20, 000 exiled Tibetans, who began arriving in large numbers in 1959 after their spiritual leader the Dalai Lama fled Tibet following a failed uprising against the Chinese. In recent months the exiles say their lives have become increasingly difficult as Nepal— reportedly under heavy pressure from Beijing— has sought to restrict their activities. Nepalese authorities have arrested dozens of Tibetan exiles who tried to hold anti-China protests over the situation in Tibet.
