Liu said, the mutual visits of high-level delegations between the ruling parties of China and Nepal are important channels for strengthening bilateral strategic communication, reflecting the high level of friendship and mutual trust between the two countries. The Chinese side's friendly policies towards the Nepali side are aimed at all political parties and the people of Nepal, supporting Nepal's development, revitalization, and improvement of people's livelihoods. It is hoped that both sides will make good use of inter-party channels, strengthen high-level exchanges, continue to firmly support each other's core interests and major concerns, and promote interconnectivity, economic and trade investment, green development, and other areas of cooperation through the platforms such as "political parties plus” cooperation and the consultation mechanism for political parties of the Nepal-China Trans-Himalayan Multi-dimensional Connectivity Network, so as to promote the China-Nepal strategic partnership of cooperation featuring ever-lasting friendship for development and prosperity for constant development.

Liu noted, since the 18th CPC National Congress, the Chinese Communists mainly represented by Comrade Xi Jinping have established Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, and opened up new horizons for the adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times, leading the CPC and China to achieve historic accomplishments and transformations. Both the CPC and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Center) are guided by Marxism. We are willing to deepen exchanges of experience and practices on state governance and administration with the Nepali side on the basis of mutual respect and good neighborliness, explore development paths that suit respective national conditions, uphold the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, jointly oppose external interference, and maintain regional peace, development and stability.

Sapkota said, Nepal regards China as a trustworthy and good friend and thanks the CPC, the Chinese government and people for the long-term valuable support for Nepal's development, stability and its efforts in safeguarding sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. Highly admiring the remarkable achievements China has made under the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping in poverty alleviation, rural revitalization, and other areas, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Center) highly appreciates China's important role in upholding world peace and stability by upholding the principle of fairness and justice, and supports the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping. General Secretary Xi Jinping's state visit to Nepal in 2019 carries milestone significance for the development of Nepal-China relations. The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Center) looks forward to intensifying high-level exchanges with the CPC, enhancing institutionalized exchanges in party building, theory, and other aspects, promoting the Belt and Road cooperation, and advancing practical cooperation in economy, trade, education, culture, and other fields, so as to promote the new development of Nepal-China relations and the development of the socialist cause. The Nepali side firmly adheres to the one-China principle and will not allow any force to use Nepal's territory for anti-China activities.
