Kathmandu, Mar 27 (PTI) Ahead of Prime Minister Prachanda's visit to Beijing, Nepal has underlined its 'one China policy', saying Kathmandu will not allow activities against its northern neighbour from its soil.
Communication Minister Krishna Bahadur Mahara said Nepal will not allow any kind of anti-China activities from its soil.
Nepal will firmly follow 'one China policy' whereby Tibet is an integral part of China, he said at a function organised by Nepal-China Media Forum in the capital.
Mahara, who is also the spokesman of the Maoists-led coalition, underlined that his party will not tilt towards any power centre, in an apparent reference to the government's policy to maintain "equidistance" between it two giant neighbours, China and India.
The Maoist government has banned all "anti-China" protests by the Tibetan exiles in Nepal during the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising.
We would not accept anything that goes against our neighbours, be it India or China, Mahara underlined.
Mahara said Prachanda will visit China towards the end of April in a bid to boost Nepal's development and building of new infrastructure in the country.
Prachanda had sparked a row in Nepal last year after he visited Beijing in break with tradition where Nepalese leaders make New Delhi the first port of call after taking office. PTI
