After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was faced with territorial disputes with many neighboring countries, coupled with the sowing of discord by Western countries, and it was urgent to solve these problems and focus on the development and reconstruction of the country.
Among the countries with territorial disputes with China is Nepal, a mountainous country between China and India. Nepal is located in a mountainous region between China and India, and the dispute between the two sides is the ownership of Mount Everest, the top of the world, which Nepal insists belongs to.
** Intervention and CoordinationIn the face of territorial disputes between neighboring countries, New China has always maintained a positive and friendly attitude, because goodwill with its neighbors and maintaining good bilateral relations are extremely important for domestic development.
Nepal has always been regarded as a friendly neighbor of China, and the two countries respect and recognize each other, and the issue of the ownership of Mount Everest has become a rare point of disagreement between the two sides.

In 1960, Nepal's then Prime Minister Koirala visited China, hoping to solve the problem of the ownership of Mount Everest. Mount Everest is geographically the dividing line between China and Nepal, but in practice the border between the two countries has not been clearly demarcated.
Koirala stressed that Mount Everest is the holy mountain of Nepal and should belong entirely to Nepal.
** During the meeting with Koirala, he responded that China also has the right to belong to Mount Everest, and as one of the world's oldest civilizations, Mount Everest has been part of China's territory since ancient times.

He also pointed out that the Tibetan compatriots in China also regard Mount Everest as a sacred place and occupy a special position in Tibetan culture, so China cannot give up the full ownership of Mount Everest.
In fact, if we delve into history, not only Mount Everest was Chinese, but even Nepal itself was a vassal state of China during the Qing Dynasty, and Mount Everest was part of China's territory in the early days.
Nepal was later colonized by the British Empire, and territorial disputes began to emerge.
China is not a chauvinistic country, but showed goodwill, pointing out that Mount Everest is of great significance to both China and Nepal and needs to be considered emotionally.
Koirala then led a delegation to Hangzhou to seek help in further resolving the territorial dispute.
Koirala's clever questioning of Koirala's desire for a definitive settlement of the territorial issue was welcomed by Koirala, who insisted that Mount Everest belonged to Nepal.
**Response: Your Excellency would like to give Mount Everest to your country completely? It will be difficult to operate, and a mountain with special historical and cultural value, no matter which side it belongs to, the other side will be dissatisfied and hurt the feelings of the two countries.
Koirala felt that the Everest issue is not only about territory, but also about diplomatic relations between China and Nepal, and it is necessary to find a solution that is satisfactory to both sides.
** It is further proposed that if Nepal attaches importance to the friendship between China and Nepal, it can consider taking a step back from each side, and the north peak of Mount Everest should be returned to China and the south peak of Mount Everest should be returned to Nepal, so as to make it a symbol of friendship.

Koirala understands this, but also points out that it will take time for the Nepalese people to accept the decision, which needs to be explained gradually due to the strong religious and cultural influence of Nepal.
** Not surprising, knowing that Nepal will need time to digest this decision.
In the course of the discussions, some third-party forces tried to interfere with China, and some anti-China forces claimed that China had not reached the summit of Mount Everest, doubting its ownership.
** Immediately instruct the organization to climb Mount Everest to demonstrate China's determination to sovereignty.
Climbing Mount Everest] Soon after, the Chinese team members successfully reached the summit of Mount Everest, demonstrating China's firmness and determination on the issue of sovereignty, and prompting Nepal** to realize that it can no longer bargain over the issue of Mount Everest.
Subsequently, the King of Nepal visited China, and the two sides signed the "China-Nepal Boundary Treaty" to completely resolve the issue of the ownership of Mount Everest.

The political wisdom of Nepal is on full display on this issue, and his question prompts Nepal to weigh the importance of Sino-Nepalese relations.
With a little political wisdom, Koirala will recognize the fundamental role of good relations with China.
As long as Nepal cooperates with China in resolving the territorial issue, external interference cannot undermine the joint efforts of the two countries to resolve the ownership of Mount Everest, and India's provocation ultimately fails.
** and China ** turned a potential problem into a symbol of friendship between China and Nepal, and China and Nepal have since worked closely together on Everest-related activities.
Follow-up China-Nepal border cooperation.
The south and north slopes of Mount Everest become two different climbing routes, with Nepal and China providing strong support for climbers to conquer the top of the world.
