KATHMANDU, Jan 31: The members of parliament (MPs) belonging to two committees of the House of Representatives are going to visit India, instead of holding discussions on the bills. One team of MPs has already left for India while another is preparing to leave. The parliamentarians are going to India with the support of the Indian government.

During the official visit of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal to India, from 31st May to 3rd June 2023, the unsettled matter of receiving the Eminent Persons Group (EPG) report by the Indian Prime Minister was not included in the official agenda of discussion at the highest-level meeting. The EPG India and Nepal report has been gathering dust for many years, after India declined to receive it. During the recent visit, there was no substantial progress to receive the report.

KATHMANDU, June 7: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said his recent India visit was focused on economic development and prosperity.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has embarked on his official visit to India. In his third innings as the prime minister of Nepal, Dahal has announced plans to make this visit a ‘historic’ one.

Long-term power purchase agreement, investment in Nepal's hydropower sector, cross-border connectivity, building cross-country transmission line, resolution of border disputes and additional air entry routes from India are among the main agenda of the visit.

The border disputes have been a sore point in Nepal-India relations for decades. The control of Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura by India has been a source of contention, leading to strained relations between the two countries. It is imperative that both sides approach these disputes with sincerity and a genuine desire to find a mutually acceptable solution. These disputes, including that of the Susta area in Nawalparasi, are not merely territorial issues; they represent the aspirations and national identity of the Nepali people. They must be addressed in a manner that respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nepal.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal embarks on an official visit to India in the midst of a bustling South Asian diplomacy landscape. This diplomatic engagement signifies more than just routine diplomatic proceedings. Rather, it stands as a golden opportunity to deepen the shared history, culture, and friendship that India and Nepal have nurtured over centuries.
