Nepal-China relations are an exemplar of barrier-free exchanges, peace, and friendship between two countries of different sizes and systems. 

"Nepal and China have many things in common in terms of culture, Buddhist beliefs, and lifestyle. The two countries have always respected each other's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence. Nepal and China support each other and work together to promote global peace, progress, prosperity, and harmony. The two sides can further promote the development of bilateral relations through a number of channels," the ambassador told the Global Times.
