A commitment has been expressed between the two governments for cooperation in various fields including royalties of Bheri Babai Diversion and Kohalpur-Surkhet 132 KV transmission line. Both governments believe that cooperation will play a significant role in the development and prosperity of both provinces by forming a common opinion on the issues of concern of the two provinces.
After the agreement, Chief Minister Kandel expressed commitment to the implementation of the agreement, stating that since Karnali has a direct connection to the major border point of Lumbini, the first-time practice after transitioning to a provincial structure aims to convey a new message.
