China on Wednesday urged all sections of Nepal to “properly handle” domestic issues, and restore social order and stability after violent protests led to the resignation of Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli.
China and Nepal are traditional friendly neighbours, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told a media briefing here, commenting for the first time on the situation in Nepal.
We hope all sections of Nepal will properly handle domestic issues, restore social order and regional stability as soon as possible, he said in response to a question.
Lin, however, did not comment on the resignation of Oli, regarded as a pro-China leader instrumental in deepening Kathmandu’s strategic ties with Beijing.
Oli, who was recently in China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit and the September 3 military parade commemorating the victory over Japan in World War II, resigned on Tuesday, following mass protests across Nepal.
