The International Mediation Organisation (IOMED) began in Hong Kong on Friday.
The state-run Xinhua news agency reported that 33 countries have signed the conference on the ground and become founding members of the IOMED. However, the full member list has not been released yet.
China’s foreign minister, who launched the initiative, said he met Nepal’s counterpart, Arzu Rana Deuba, on a side job at a ceremony held in Hong Kong on Friday, and wanted Nepal to join Iomed on an early day, the official press release said here.
Deuba attended the first event of IOMED, but apparently Nepal has not signed up to participate in it.
“We discussed various aspects of the connection between Nepal and China, including high-level exchanges and development cooperation,” Deuba said in a post-X post after the meeting. “We look forward to continuing to work together to further strengthen relations between the two countries,” she added in a post in X. China and Nepal are traditional friendly neighbours, and the Chinese location is a Nepal location and a key position in neighbourhood diplomacy.
Duva congratulated IOMED’s successful signing ceremony and said that having IOMED headquarters in Hong Kong would be the ideal choice, according to a press release.
Pakistan, a Beijing all-weather tribe, signed up for IOMED, with its Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishak Dal attending the signing ceremony.
During the meeting, the Wang said that China is willing to work with Pakistan and other countries to provide all countries with a new platform for peace, stability, equity and justice in the southern part of the world, providing China with a voluntary and efficient new option for conflict resolution, a new platform for maintaining peace, stability, equity and justice in the world’s southern part of the world, a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
