China commended the Nepali government’s decision to reject the United States’ partnership program and reaffirmed support for Nepal’s “non-aligned foreign policy,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on June 23.

Nepal rejected the State Partnership Program (SPP) after a leaked draft of the program, which the United States reportedly forwarded to the Nepali leadership, sparked heated political debates.
