Eternal,

When i think of countries who gave Nepal head of the state a warm welcome, two countries comes into my mind. UK and China

China still pays respectable appreciation for the Head of Nepal during Formal Visitations. I think china does that for its own strategic advantage. It has put Nepal into the list of first neighbours for couple reasons.

1. To make sure Nepal respects One China Policy
2. To make sure Nepal does not become a playground for "Free Tibet movement"
3. To Participate equally as India in influencing Nepali politics
4. To be appreciative of kiing Mahendra and King Birendra's for appreciating Chinese Communist Party and its ideas. The kings were closer to chinese communists than democratic India. King Mahendra borrowed the socialistic economy and created many state owned industries in Nepal with Chinese Help. King Birendra seeked Millitary and economic assistance from Chinese Maoist Party than democratic forces in India.


So the way China treats nepal head of the state has not changed.


Next one is UK which had following reasons to paid warm welcome to the Nepal head.

1. Loyalty to the queen for over 200 years. Over 200k Nepali forces worked for Britishers to suppress the independence movement in India for over 100 years. Till this day Nepal has opened UK to recruit Nepali citizens to be hired for tougher task but lesser pay and lesser rights.

2. Relationship of Royalty, as both were Royals...they probably had little stronger relationship than what we have here.


Other than those two countries......Nepal leaders have been dealt pretty much the same way. India has never treated head of the Nepal as more than a " Mukhya Mantri for a state" ....In US, many times Nepali PM in the past have not even gotten an appointment to meet the president...they do not even get an appointment to meet the sec of state.
