Nepal-China

The age-old and deep-rooted relationship between Nepal and the People’s Republic of China has always remained friendly and cordial. The historic and multi-faceted relations between the two countries have evolved since the days of Nepali monk and scholar Buddhabhadra (early 5th Century), princess Bhrikuti (first half of the 7th Century), and Araniko (Anige, Second half of the 13 Century), and early visits of Chinese monks and scholars like Monk Fa Xian (Jin Dynasty), Monk Xuan Zang (Tang Dynasty) among others.

The two countries formalized their relations on August 1, 1955, by establishing diplomatic relations. The relationship between the two countries has been marked by friendliness, understanding, mutual support, cooperation, and respect for each other’s aspirations and sensitivities. Both countries have relentless faith in the ideals of the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence.
