"We sincerely hope the Nepalese political forces will take the national interest into consideration, hold dialogue, coordinate, and seek a political consensus," state-owned Xinhua quoted Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu as saying during a regular briefing in Beijing on Tuesday.[break]
China´s comments come at a time when the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists) has enforced an indefinite strike starting from Sunday.
This is the first comment on political situation in Nepal by any foreign government since the start of the indefinite strike.
Jiang called on the parties to properly handle differences, promote the hard-won peace process and realize political stability and economic development at the earliest.
"It is what is in Nepal´s fundamental interest, and what is good for regional peace and stability," Jiang said.
