While this sounds interesting, it can have both sides.
The new government is active to have mutual relations with the big ones. The other side would be money aspects.
I will take no sides. I will read the news, enjoy it and watch the consequences.
It would be great, however, if they can donate their allowances to the flood victims of eastern Nepal.
