Chinese Ambassador to Nepal Yang Houlan
met Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai on Thursday at PM’s official
residence in Baluwatar, Kathmandu in order to clarify over the
postponement of Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao’s visit to Nepal.
The Chinese envoy clarified the visit of
the Chinese leader has been deferred citing Jiabao’s ‘inevitable
presence’ in Beijing at this period of time.
Houlan has requested Bhattarai to
‘reschedule’ it for some time. “The Chinese leader will visit Nepal
soon,” he added but did not mention when.
“We are really sorry to inform you about our premier’s inability to visit Nepal now,” told Chinese envoy to Bhattarai.
Jiabao’s was slated to arrive in Nepal
on a three-day official visit on December 20, until the Northern
neighbour cancelled it on Tuesday, citing that his presence in Beijing
became necessary to be engaged in economic and budgetary issues.
