Nepal lawmakers urge PM Oli to clarify alleged support for China’s Global Security Initiative

KATHMANDU: (Sep 3) Nepalese lawmakers on Wednesday demanded an explanation from Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli over China’s claim that Nepal has expressed support for its Global Security Initiative (GSI), amid growing political concerns over Kathmandu’s commitment to a non-aligned foreign policy.

Raising the issue in the House of Representatives, CPN-Unified Socialist parliamentarian Prakash Jwala asserted, “Nepal has never been part of any military strategy of major powers and should not engage in such frameworks in the future.”

He warned that aligning with such frameworks would be “self-destructive and objectionable”.
