Dear friends from all sectors of Nepal,

Dear fellow Chinese nationals,

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends,

Entrusted by President Xi Jinping, I am honoured to assume my duties as the 23rd Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China to Nepal. I am deeply mindful of both the honour and the responsibility of this appointment. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to friends from all walks of life who have long supported the development of China-Nepal relations.

China and Nepal are friendly neighbours linked by mountains and rivers, and partners bound by generations of friendship, mutual support, and shared development. Over the past 71 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, our two countries have stood together through thick and thin and shared weal and woe, together writing a chapter in the history of China-Nepal good-neighbourly friendship. China has consistently supported Nepal in safeguarding its national independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, in pursuing a development path suited to its national conditions, and in advancing economic and social development and improving people’s livelihoods. Nepal has long upheld the one-China principle and firmly supported China on issues concerning China’s core interests and major concerns.

In 2019, President Xi Jinping paid a historic and successful state visit to Nepal, elevating bilateral relations to a Strategic Partnership of Cooperation Featuring Everlasting Friendship for Development and Prosperity. Under the strategic guidance of our two countries’ leaders, political mutual trust has continued to deepen, high-quality Belt and Road cooperation has delivered fruitful results, and people-to-people exchanges have grown ever closer, bringing tangible benefits to our two peoples.

The year of 2026 marks the opening year of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan period. China will accelerate the advancement of Chinese modernization and expand high-standard opening up more proactively, creating new development opportunities for countries around the world, including Nepal. Nepal is also at a critical stage of transformation and transition. At a time when changes unseen in a century are accelerating and turbulence and transformation are interwoven in the international landscape, China stands ready to work with Nepal to implement the four Global Initiatives, strengthen solidarity and cooperation among the Global South, and jointly promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, so as to contribute to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

As the newly appointed Chinese Ambassador to Nepal, I will conscientiously implement the important consensus reached between President Xi Jinping and the leaders of Nepal. I look forward to working with friends from all sectors of Nepal to carry forward our traditional friendship and advance all-round exchanges and cooperation across all fields. The Chinese Embassy in Nepal will continue to practice people-centered diplomacy, serve as a trusted partner to Chinese nationals in Nepal, and act as a steadfast guardian of the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese nationals overseas.

Let us work hand in hand to advance the Strategic Partnership of Cooperation Featuring Everlasting Friendship for Development and Prosperity between China and Nepal, and jointly build a China-Nepal community with a shared future.

Thank you.
