Prachanda today assured China of implementing key bilateral deals, including one that could end India’s monopoly in transport to the landlocked country, reached during the previous regime would be honoured even after the new government takes over. Chinese Ambassador Wu Chuntai during talks with the Nepalese leader, who is set to succeed KP Oli as the Prime Minister, in response, committed Beijing’s ‘full support’ to the new government and Prachanda’s leadership. The remarks by Chinese ambassador came at a time when there are media reports that India was behind the move to topple Oli-led government paving way for Prachanda to become Prime Minister once again. 61-year-old Prachanda, known for his anti-India stance, took the ownership of implementing the deals reached during Oli’s regime, saying they were made by the coalition government that included the Maoists also. He added that the Nepal-China agreements were in fact outcome of the agreement made by the government that he led earlier, according to a statement by Prachanda’s secretariat.
