Addressing the concerns shown by CPC about the political stability in Nepal, Mahara said to have informed it about the differences between the Chinese political system and the Nepali political system.
Clarifying to CPC, Mahara said, “As Nepal has adopted a multiparty democratic political system, it is common to have differences among the political parties and change in government.”
When asked whether China has the same foreign policy for Nepal after the change in government, Mahara said the government does not change for 10 years in China and China is aware that Nepal has recently promulgated its constitution. It's not that China favors the government led by any particular party in Nepal, Mahara said.
Mahara also said that the Nepal government has to learn a lot from China's development.
