"Can't Replace Father With Mother": Nepal Minister On China Or India Query

You can't tell your father that you'll replace him with your mother or vice versa, Nepal Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal told NDTV, underscoring the importance of both India and China to the small Himalayan nation, refusing to pick sides between the two South Asian Goliaths. "We are very emotional people, but in foreign policy, I think we need to look at it from a rational side, and again, what I would like to say is as two important neighbours, we have a wonderful relationship that we would like to maintain with both India and China. But we do not want to supplement one with the other. I would not want to tell my father that I'll replace you with the mother or the mother with the father.
