There is no doubt that the development of the Tibet autonomous region bears a direct influence on Nepal's domestic situation and foreign affairs. Nepal shares a 1,400-kilometer border with the autonomous region and the development and stability of Tibet is an important theme in relations between Nepal and China.

In recent years, Nepal has suffered heavily from the political turbulence and thus it hopes all the more to see economic prosperity and social harmony and stability in China's Tibet. This serves as a necessary external precondition for Nepal's own development.

Nepal has made the commitment that it will not allow any anti-China activities within its territory. People may not realize that the harmony and stability of the autonomous region are of crucial importance to Nepal, as any turbulence can rapidly extend across the Himalayas to Nepal, while Tibet's stability and development will surely benefit Nepal.
