Kathmandu, 18 May : Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has reiterated that Nepal’s foreign policy is conducted on the basis of panchasheel or the five principles of peaceful co-existence.
Replying to queries from lawmakers in the meeting of the House of Representatives today, he said Nepal’s foreign policy would be advanced taking into consideration the national interest.
Lawmaker Dilendra Prasad Badu had asked the PM how the government was planning to pursue Nepal’s foreign policy.
Similarly, Raghuji Panta had asked whether discussions would be held on the Nepal-India Treaty of 1950 and the protection of Nepal’s border and territory during the PM’s visit to India.
In reply, PM Dahal said, “We will not give even an inch of our territory in the context of the border, neither do we want an inch of our neighbour’s territory. We will state this during the India trip. Nothing that affects Nepal’s national interest and unity would be done.”
