# Nepal Rejects Third-Party Involvement in Border Issue with India, Reaffirms Bilateral Approach Nepal has reaffirmed its commitment to resolving border-related issues with India through bilateral dialogue, distancing itself from suggestions that third countries could play a role in addressing the long-standing dispute. The clarification comes amid discussions triggered by remarks reportedly made by Kathmandu Mayor Balen Shah regarding the possible involvement of China and the United Kingdom in the matter. In an official statement, Nepalese authorities emphasized that the country's established position remains unchanged and that border issues with India should be addressed through existing diplomatic channels between the two neighboring nations. Officials stated that Nepal is firmly committed to a bilateral approach and values direct engagement as the most effective means of resolving outstanding concerns. The clarification follows reports that Balen Shah had suggested seeking the participation of China and the United Kingdom in discussions related to the border issue. However, government representatives indicated that such remarks do not reflect Nepal's official foreign policy position. The India-Nepal border dispute has centered on areas including Kalapani, Lipulekh, and Limpiyadhura, regions claimed by both countries. The issue gained renewed attention in recent years following the publication of revised maps by both sides. Despite differences, India and Nepal have consistently maintained diplomatic engagement and established mechanisms to discuss border-related matters. Analysts note that the relationship between India and Nepal is shaped by deep historical, cultural, and economic ties. As a result, both governments have generally preferred dialogue and diplomatic negotiations to address sensitive issues. Experts argue that bilateral mechanisms help maintain trust and reduce the risk of external complications in regional affairs. Political leaders and observers have largely welcomed Nepal's clarification, viewing it as a reaffirmation of existing diplomatic practices. The statement is expected to support ongoing efforts to maintain constructive relations between New Delhi and Kathmandu. As discussions continue, both countries are likely to rely on established diplomatic channels to address unresolved border concerns. The development underscores the importance of dialogue, mutual understanding, and regional cooperation in managing complex cross-border issues while preserving strong bilateral relations.
