SATV, Kathmandu, Sept. 04 - Nepali Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal said on Thursday that Nepal has no intention of separately seeking "climate justice compensation" from any specific country, including China.
He added that Nepal will seek compensation from the international community under the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement.
Nepal sincerely appreciates China's generous assistance at a time of crisis, Khanal told Chinese Ambassador to Nepal Zhang Maoming during a meeting.
He said Nepal and China share the natural ecosystem of the Himalayas and are both affected by climate change, adding that Nepal agrees with China that addressing climate change is a shared responsibility of the international community.
Noting that China has supported Nepal's disaster relief efforts in various forms since the severe mudslide occurred, Zhang expressed confidence that, through solidarity and joint efforts, the two peoples will tide over the difficulties.
Zhang said that climate change is a common challenge facing humanity, and no country can remain unaffected.
China stands ready to continue working with Nepal and the wider international community to strengthen exchanges and cooperation and effectively prevent and reduce the adverse impacts of climate change, Zhang added.
