KATHMANDU, AUG 06 -
Nepal and China have set up a high-level mechanism to share intelligence and information on security matters to contain anti-China activities in Nepal.

Joint secretaries from both countries’ home ministries will lead the focal point. Jaya Mukunda Khanal, joint secretary at the Ministry of Home Affairs, who also heads the Peace and Security Division, will head the Nepali team. “It is too early to detail the job description of the mechanism but we are busy preparing the terms of reference of the focal point,” said Khanal.

The mechanism will also share information on other illegal cross-border activities. Nepal-China Border Security and Law Enforcement Talks that concluded here in July-end had decided to set up a focal point on information sharing. “The Chinese side has assured of full support to enhance capacity building, train Nepali security personnel to be deployed across the northern border and seek Nepal’s full commitment on information sharing on anti-China activities with effective law enforcement mechanism to contain such activities,” a senior government official told the Post.
