China–Nepal border

Common card · No. 266701

The China–Nepal border is the international boundary between the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, and Nepal. It is 1,389 kilometres (863 mi) in length and runs in a northwest–southeast direction along the Himalayan mountain range, including Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain. The line of the border has changed dramatically over time, especially when considering events such as the 1951 Chinese annexation of Tibet. Some of the most significant developments of modern times are the signing of the "Agreement on Maintaining Friendly Relations between the People's Republic of China and the Kingdom of Nepal" in 1956 and the Sino-Nepalese Treaty of Peace and Friendship in 1960, both of which formally recognised Tibet as a part of China and confirmed the limits of the countries of China and Nepal as they are known today.
