Tanka Prasad Karki, Nepali Ambassador to China

"China has really stood up; the 'sleeping tiger' has now stood up."

"China has helped lift 300 million people out of poverty, which is a historical achievement,"

"Behind China's marvelous achievements lies her dynamic and visionary leadership. In the meantime, China's national unity as I find today is unprecedented."

"We hope the Qinghai Tibet Railway extends further towards south as earliest as possible. This will bring about positive impact on the lives of people living in the border areas of both countries."

"The Government of Nepal is committed to not allowing any activity in its soil that infringes upon the territorial integrity of the People's Republic of China."
