Chairman of Nepal's ruling UCPN (Maoist) party, Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda, has termed Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's visit to China "highly successful," saying the deals signed between the two governments during the visit have long-term significance.

"Prime Minister Oli's visit has been highly successful and fruitful in terms of promoting our friendly relationship with China. A number of agreements reached with the Chinese side have a long-term significance in our bilateral ties," Chairman Dahal told reporters at Birgunj City in southern Nepal on Friday.
