"They said that they will continue with joint projects in Nepal, other economic aid will continue. There will not be any change even when we lead the government." Tibetan secessionists Prachanda said the new government will take "strong measures" against anti-China activities in his country. Over the past few weeks, Tibetan secessionists have protested almost daily in front of the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu. They are usually detained by police and soon released, only to repeat the story the next day. "When we lead the government, we will change the situation," said Prachanda. He said Nepal's new government will discuss with India the open border, which enables Tibetan demonstrators to come to Kathmandu from Dharmashala, the Dalai Lama's base in India. "We will not tolerate anti-China activities on our soil and we will take strong administrative measures to control these activities," he said. |
