Nepali Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala Wednesday reaffirmed Nepal's stance that Taiwan and Tibet are inalienable parts of China, and that Nepal will never allow external forces to engage in anti-China activities on its territory.

Koirala made the remarks in Kathmandu while meeting with a visiting Chinese delegation headed by Liu Hongcai, deputy head of the CPC Central Committee's International Department.

The Chinese delegation was invited by Vice-Chairman of the Nepali Congress Party Shushil Koirala on behalf of Nepal's ruling Seven Party Alliance.

Koirala said China has long provided aid to Nepal's development and positively contributed to the country's peace progress, expressing hope that the Nepal-China friendship would be passed on to younger generations by stepping up exchanges.

The prime minister noted that the Nepali Congress Party attaches importance to the relationship with CPC, and the party was in favor of learning CPC's experience in governing a country, especially in developing economy.

Liu said the CPC and the Chinese government highly appreciate Nepal's political parties' signing the peace accord and putting the interests of their country and people first, and wished Nepal lasting peace and steady economic growth.

He also expressed hopes that the two countries would continue deepening reciprocal cooperation.
