Kathmandu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said Buddhism is a ‘luminous thread’ in Nepal-China relations. While addressing the Ninth Nanhai Buddhism Roundtable Forum in Kathmandu on Friday, he said “Nepal and China share more than just borders. We are bound by the timeless tapestry of our history, the majestic embrace of our mountains, the life-giving flow of our rivers, and the profound richness of our cultures. Buddhism has been the luminous thread that weaves together the spiritual and cultural fabric of our two nations, fostering an enduring bond of harmony and understanding.”
Vice President of the Buddhist Association of China, Master Yinshun, and representatives from 28 countries are attending the Forum, according to Chinese ambassador to Nepal Chen Song. “This year’s forum, held in Nepal, the birthplace of Sakyamuni Buddha, is of special significance,” he said. Let us foster mutual respect, understanding, love and tolerance, work together to safeguard global harmony and peace, and build a closer community with a shared future for mankind.”
