“Although the Indian side appears not positive about sitting for talks, the government of Nepal seeks to resolve the border dispute through political dialogue. The government is constantly initiating talks to retrieve the encroached territory in Kalapani, Lipu Lekh and Limpiyadhura,” Minister Gyawali told the Standing Committee members of the ruling party.
During the meeting, Gyawali also refuted several media reports that suggested that China had encroached upon the Nepali territory at several places. The Standing Committee meeting will continue on Saturday.
