CGTN published this video item, entitled “China, Nepal vow to stand side by side in facing challenges” – below is their description.
Noting that China and Nepal are connected by mountains and rivers and enjoy an everlasting friendship, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said no matter how the international and regional situation changes, the two nations have always firmly supported each other on issues involving core interests and have stood side by side in the face of tests and challenges.
China is the third largest country in the world by area and the largest country in the world by population. Properly known as the People’s Republic of China, the political territory of the country includes Tibet and Hong Kong. The capital is Beijing.
Nepal, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a sovereign country in South Asia. It is mainly in the Himalayas, but also includes parts of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. It is landlocked, and borders China in the north and India in the south, east and west, while Bangladesh is located within only 27 km (17 mi) of its southeastern tip and Bhutan is separated from it by the Indian state of Sikkim. Nepal has a diverse geography, including fertile plains, subalpine forested hills, and eight of the world’s ten tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. Kathmandu is the capital and the largest city. Nepal is a multiethnic country, with Nepali as the official language.
