Nepal Prime Minister K P Oli today said their relationship with China is "higher than Mount Everest and superior than the Great Wall", underlining that the Himalayan nation will not allow any activity on its territory that will impair the Communist nation's interests.
Oli was addressing the Renmin University students here when he lauded the bilateral ties much on the lines of the repeated descriptionof Pakistan-China relations as higher than mountains and deeper than oceans.
"Nepal's relationship with China is higher than the Mount Everest, and superior than the Great Wall," Oli said who left Beijing today for the Boao Summit in Hainan Province.
He saidNepal adheres to the One-China policy and will not allow any activity on the Nepali territory that will impair China's interests.
The One-China policy refers to a policy or view that there is only one state called China.
Oli is on a week-long visit to China. Nepal has signed 10 agreements with China, including a landmark transit treaty to end the near-total dependence on India for essential supplies.
