Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah has extended best wishes to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on his official visit to China, while urging him not to forget to remind China about Nepal’s claim over Lipulekh.
Referring to the India–China agreement to resume trade through the Lipulekh pass, Balen said the move undermines Nepal’s sovereignty. He stressed that Lipulekh belongs to Nepal and requested the Prime Minister to convey this message firmly to China during his visit.
“Best wishes for your China visit, Prime Minister. The India–China agreement to reopen trade through Nepal’s Lipulekh has infringed on our sovereignty. Please remind China that Lipulekh is ours. All the best—we have full trust in you,” Mayor Balen wrote.
