KATHMANDU, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Nepal's cabinet on Thursday lifted a months-long ban on the popular short-video app TikTok, a cabinet minister said.
"The cabinet decided to lift the ban on TikTok under certain conditions," said Prithvi Subba Gurung, minister for communication and information technology, who is also the government's spokesperson.
"As TikTok agreed to abide by the social media operation directives issued by the Nepali government after being registered in Nepal, the decision to lift the ban was taken," the minister told the press.
The Nepali government imposed a ban on TikTok in November last year. ■
