Nepal PM Balendra Shah proposed involving the UK in border dispute talks with neighbours, citing colonial-era origins and historical records. He called for diplomatic resolution with India and others. India reaffirmed dialogue but rejected claims on Kalapani-Lipulekh-Limpiyadhura. China also figures in wider regional dynamics.
Kathmandu [Nepal]: Nepal's newly appointed Prime Minister, Balendra Shah, has sought to expand the ambit of talks about the country's border issues with neighbouring countries, saying that the United Kingdom will also be involved to resolve the issues through dialogue
Addressing the House of Representatives for the first time since assuming power in late March, Prime Minister Shah responded to queries from opposition lawmakers by emphasising a collaborative, historical approach to boundary management.
A key highlight of the Prime Minister's address was the formal inclusion of the United Kingdom in the diplomatic dialogue. Because the modern borders of the region trace back to the colonial era, Nepal believes the British government holds historic accountability and crucial archival evidence.
"While they were leaving British India, the problem was passed onto generations, which is why we believe that England also needs to be concerned about it," Prime Minister Shah stated in parliament. "All these issues would be resolved through table talk and diplomatic channels."
