KATHMANDU, Sept 2: CPN (Maoist Center) Spokesperson Agni Prasad Sapkota stressed on the need for diplomatic initiative to discuss the new map issued by China.
Speaking at a press conference organized at the party central office on Friday, he said this topic would be discussed during Prime Minister and party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s visit to China.
Who is right, who is wrong on Nepal-India battle of maps?
"Talks should be held through the diplomatic channel regarding the map issued by China. Diplomatic initiatives should be stepped up," the party spokesman said, adding that the matter would be discussed during the PM's China visit.
It may be noted here that China's 2023 standard map issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources on Monday has ignored the new map endorsed by the federal Parliament of Nepal, as it has failed to recognise the new map of Nepal with a pointed area on the northwest side. Instead, it has included the old map of Nepal.
