He was of the view that Nepal’s relations with the neighboring countries should be established through talks on the basis of historical truth and facts.
“Nepal has friendly neighborhood with China. China has done nothing to hurt Nepal’s sovereignty and geographical indivisibility but the agreement between China and India to make a trade and spiritual route through Nepal’s Lipulek is done without Nepal’s consent.
