Speaking at the function, Wu said Nepal and China were good friends, good neighbours and good partners.
“We are friends in need and friends indeed ... China wishes to see a prosperous Nepal and I assure you we will continue assisting Nepal,” Wu said.
“Nepal is now embarking on a very important political process. We sincerely hope that Nepal will conduct a smooth
election,” he added.
Chief election commissioner Nilkantha Upreti said the logistics received from China indicate that China supports Nepal’s democratic process.
