KATHMANDU: Minister of Foreign Affairs, NP Saud, has said the only existing border problems lie in Kalapani, Limpiyadhura, Lipulek, and Susta.

Speaking at a press conference in Dadeldhura today, Minister Saud disclosed that substantial agreements have been achieved regarding other border regions, and the Joint Boundary Working Group, comprising representatives from both nations — Nepal and India — is engaged in resolving the lingering disputes.

“Beyond Kalapani, Limpiyadhura, Lipulek, and Susta, numerous agreements have been negotiated. Some areas underwent transference during previous border mapping, with territories shifting between India and Nepal,” he said.

The Joint Boundary Working Group, according to him, is addressing these instances with mutual consent.

He underscored the Nepalese government’s vigilant awareness of its borders and territorial holdings, emphasizing ongoing efforts to navigate border challenges through negotiations, discussions, and diplomatic channels.

Minister Saud acknowledged the significance of the recent visit by Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar, labeling it as meaningful, important, and fruitful.

“We have reached agreements, including the sale of 10,000 megawatts of electricity to India, the initiation of the Pancheshwar Project, and securing a 10-billion-rupee Indian grant for Jajarkot earthquake victims,” he said.

Minister Saud also asserted that Jaishankar’s visit played a pivotal role in advancing the bilateral relationship between Nepal and India.
