CHINA

(C) On March 24 Ambassador delivered reftel demarche to
Foreign Secretary Madhu Raman Acharya in the absence of the
Foreign Minister. Acharya indicated that the Government of
Nepal is unlikely to support either resolution, both because
of Nepal's close geographical and diplomatic relations with
China and because of its unwillingness to break solidarity
with other G-77 nations, to which Nepal looks for support on
its own human rights problems.
