On Sunday, Nepal reaffirmed its commitment to resolving border disputes with India through diplomatic negotiations, as stated by Prime Minister Balendra Shah in Parliament. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that both nations have exchanged diplomatic notes, reiterating their dedication to addressing differences through mutual discussions and established diplomatic channels. The statement highlighted the historical context of the border, guided by the Sugauli Treaty of 1816, and acknowledged that certain areas, including Susta, Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh, and Kalapani, remain unmapped. The Technical Committee of both countries is actively working on data collection and border pillar repairs. Meanwhile, India rejected Nepal's recent territorial claims over Lipulekh Pass, describing them as 'untenable' and reaffirming that the route has been used for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra since 1954. India's Ministry of External Affairs stated that Nepal's claims are not based on historical facts. The ongoing discussions reflect the complex and sensitive nature of Nepal-India relations regarding border issues.
