Never accept interferen­ce in domestic politics: Nepal Min

- /

Nepal does not accept interferen­ce in its domestic politics as it is capable of handling its internal problems, Nepalese Foreign Minister Pradeep Kumar Gyawali said on Saturday, in comments that came against the backdrop of China wading into the political turmoil in the Himalayan nation following the dissolutio­n of its parliament.

Gyawali's assertion came at a media interactio­n when asked about China's attempt to play a role in the aftermath of fast-paced political developmen­ts in Nepal last month.

"We never accept interferen­ce in our domestic politics. We are able to settle our own problems. As a close neighbour, there may be some concerns or questions but we never accept interferen­ce," the Nepalese foreign minister said.
