Nepal wants partnership with India ‘not constrained by anxieties of past’: Foreign minister Shishir Khanal

Kathmandu, 6/6: Nepal wants to resolve its border dispute with India through existing bilateral mechanisms as “no problem is too large and complex” when both sides engage with an open heart, rational mind and mutual respect, Nepal Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal said on Sunday, effectively backing New Delhi’s position against any third-party involvement in the issue.Khanal also said Kathmandu refuses to view India through the “distorted, hyper-sensitive lens” of 21st-century geopolitics and instead wants to look at New Delhi with “clear eyes and a single transparent agenda of economic transformation of Nepal”.
