China demands Nepal to sign ‘non-disclosure agreements’ before providing Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccines. The vsccines are provided to the Himalayan country to which the Chinese officials have expressed their disappointment at Nepal authorities. The reason of disappointed is specified as Nepal fails to keep the vaccine deal ‘secret.’

The Chinese officials are not happy with the Nepalese government over the issue of publicizing details of the vaccine deal that was struck between Nepal and China. As the reports suggest, the Chinese officials have apparently communicated their displeasure at the disclosure regarding the vaccine procurement by the government of Nepal. Similarly, the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu also had reminded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the nature of the deal. Initially, China wants Nepal to keep the ‘vaccine-deal’ secret. A report in detail reads that the deadlock Nepal had reached in procuring the vaccines after China had insisted on the Himalayan nation signing a non-disclosure agreement before availing the Sinopharm vaccines. Under such a non-disclosure agreement, it was agreed that China would provide four million doses of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine to Nepal.

However, a few Nepal media outlets recently published information regarding the vaccine deal between the two countries. While, the Nepalese media reports on the possible vaccine deal have reportedly angered the Chinese officials, who have now warned the Nepal government. Following the controversy, the Health Ministry on Thursday issued a statement, refuting media reports about buying vaccines from China.
