Nepal FM Affirms Sovereignty Focus Amid Boundary Dispute with India
Nepal's Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal affirmed the government's commitment to a foreign policy centered on sovereignty, territorial integrity, national security, and long-term national interests. Responding to questions about the phrase "old baggage," he clarified it does not refer to Nepal's history or constitutional map, which includes Lipulekh, Kalapani, and Limpiyadhura. The minister emphasized that the map and constitutional amendment reflect national consensus. Nepal and India continue to have a boundary dispute over these territories, with India advocating bilateral dialogue.
