Nepal’s Border Relations with India and China

Abstract

Because of the open-border system between Nepal and India, the people-to-people relations among the border inhabitants of the countries in social, cultural, economic and a diversity of other fields have remained unparalleled in world history. The border between Nepal and China is largely sealed and as such the border inhabitants among the two countries have not been able to obtain adequate benefit at the local level. It is likely that the border inhabitants living along Nepal’s border regions with India and China would benefit more if connectivity is developed between the two sides of the border through roads, irrigation, communication and other infrastructural facilities. In order to safeguard Nepal’s national interest, the country has to take all possible precautions to ensure that the interest of one neighbor is not affected by the other, while avoiding further rivalry
