The messages described Nepal–China relations as founded on sovereign equality, mutual respect and sensitivity to each other’s core interests. The president said the Society respected Nepal’s commitment to the one-China principle and remained committed to expanding people-to-people understanding and practical cooperation in education, culture, connectivity and sustainable development. He also expressed hope that the Taiwan question would be resolved peacefully.

The president conveyed special gratitude for the relief and expert assistance provided by the Chinese government and people during the devastating disaster Nepal recently faced. Describing that support in a difficult time as a humane expression of friendship between the two countries, he wished President Xi good health and the Chinese people peace, prosperity and continued progress.
