The six member Chinese delegation led by Mr. Ai
Ping, deputy head of the International Department of the Communist Party of
China (CPC)-Central Committee, wrapped up its three day Nepal trip, July 1, 2012,
without meeting Prime Minister Baburam and President Ram Baran.
Chinese Ambassador Yang Houlan told the media
that the delegation did not meet Nepal’s PM and President because there was no
agenda as such.
Very Interesting! Ignoring or insulting?
“The visit was a private one and was intended
at enhancing cooperation with the political parties and there was no agenda as
such to meet PM and Prime Minister”, Annapurna Post quotes the Chinese
ambassador as saying.
The daily newspaper further quotes an unnamed
Chinese embassy official as saying that the delegation preferred not to meet
the Prime Minister simply because he was currently heading a ‘caretaker
government’.
So this may have applied to the caretaker
ceremonial President?
“Though the embassy had tried to arrange a
meeting with the President, the meeting could not take place as we thought the
meeting with President without meeting the PM would have given wrong signal,”
also claims the embassy source.
Insult taking proper care of diplomatic
protocol.
The daily newspaper nevertheless, also quotes a
foreign ministry official as saying, “This does tell that China is not at all
happy with the present government. Formerly, a province leader from China used
to meet the President. A high profile dignitary as Ai Ping preferring not even
to meet the government officials does indicate that China is not happy with the
present government.”
Kamlo odhai pitera gayo!
Prior to his departure, Ai Ping commented, “The
visit was successful in enhancing cooperation between Communist Party of China
and Nepal’s political parties. Nepal should learn lessons from the development
in the neighbourhood.”
Mr. Ai Ping should understand that Nepali
leaders have “developed” over these years at the cost of Nepali population.
By the way, PM Bhattarai was ignored by Chinese
PM Wen Jiabao in Brazil and here Ai Ping repeated the same.
Must have some inner signals to both Nepal PM
and President from the North. Analysts hope that some friends from the South
will drop in soon to console the both caretakers.
