Kathmandu, August 31
Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah has canceled his visit to China.
At the invitation of the Chinese government, Balen was scheduled to go to Beijing on Thursday afternoon for tourism promotion and cultural exchange.
Balen canceled his visit to China, stating that recently the Chinese government released a map which does not align with Nepal’s new map, instead, it depicts Nepali territory as part of India.
“We consider it a wrong step of China, which is against our sensitivities to show Nepali territory to India without asking Nepal. Therefore, today I have decided not to go on my five-day visit to China on the basis of ethics,” Balen wrote on social media.
On May 20, 2020, Nepal passed the new political map of Nepal including Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani.
