In an interview with the BBC in London on Tuesday, the ex-prime minister said Nepal and its two neighbors -- India and China -- should work together to counter American influence.
Speaking at the Nepali Embassy in London, Dahal said the emerging Asian economies should rely less on the West, especially the United States.
He said being the sole super power, the US was trying to have a greater influence in Asia, but India and China should come together to provide security and prosperity to their people.
Dahal is on a visit to Britain to give training to Maoist supporters living there after the conclusion of the month-long Maoist central committee meeting.
Dahal, who has been courting India right since he quit in May over President Dr Ram Baran Yadav´s decision to reinstate the army chief he had sacked, said Delhi was wrong to think that he was closer to communist China than to India.
He said he wanted a good relationship with both countries.
Dahal while acknowledging that India supported the dialogue between the Maoists and other political parties after the then king Gyanendra assumed direct power in 2005, alleged that India lost its warmth towards the Maoists when historic elections resulted in him becoming prime minister.
On the domestic front, he said his party was striving to change the basic structure of Nepal through the Constituent Assembly, which would draft a new constitution for Nepal.
Rejecting any possibility of the restoration of monarchy, he said that over 90 percent of people were opposed to it.
