KATHMANDU, AUGUST 28
Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre), Pushpa Kamal Dahal, has said that boundary issues, including those concerning Kalapani and Lipulek, should be resolved through mutual dialogue and agreement.
Speaking briefly with journalists at Biratnagar Airport today, Dahal-also a former Prime Minister-reminded that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had previously expressed a commitment to address the Kalapani, Lipulek, and Limpiyadhura border disputes.
He recalled that during his tenure as Prime Minister, he had clearly conveyed that Nepal's relations with India could not remain cordial without resolving these longstanding boundary issues.
"During my most recent visit to India as Prime Minister, a press briefing was held where the border dispute was discussed, and Prime Minister Modi reaffirmed his commitment to resolving the remaining border issues through dialogue," Dahal said.
The Maoist Centre Chair also urged the government to initiate a formal dialogue process with India to address the unresolved boundary disputes between the two nations.
