Tibet Talks Europe #12: ‘China’s influence on Nepal and its impact on Tibetans<\/strong>‘<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Nepal has long been a refuge and a transit point for Tibetans fleeing the Chinese repression. But in the last few years, the growing Chinese influence on its Himalayan neighbour, and the increased cooperation between the two countries – including on matters related to national security – has increased the vulnerability of Tibetans living in the country, who lack legal status and face considerable restrictions of their rights and freedoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the nature of the relationship between China and Nepal, and what are Beijing\u2019s interests in this country? And what is the situation of Tibetans in Nepal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To answer these questions, ICT\u2019s EU Policy Director Vincent Metten discussed with French journalist Brice Pedroletti, who recently published an article (available – in French – here)<\/a> on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode of Tibet Talks Europe was released (in French with English subtitles) on 8 July on the occasion of the adoption of Nepal\u2019s Universal Periodic report at the UN Human Rights Council.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest Speaker: <\/strong>Brice Pedroletti,
Moderator: <\/strong>Vincent Metten, ICT’s EU Policy Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
