Constitution itself has guided foreign policy of Nepal: Minister Gyawali

KATHMANDU, MAY 14: Minister for Foreign Affairs Pradeep Kumar Gyawali has said that the constitution itself has guided the foreign policy of Nepal.

“Foreign Policy of Nepal will be taken ahead keeping the national interest and welfare in mind. The internal issues of Nepal cannot be the matter of bilateral discussion,” he said  during a meeting of the House of Representatives on Monday.

Responding to queries raised of parliamentarians during special hour, Foreign Minister Gyawali said that Indian Prime Minister Modi’s state visit to Nepal has prepared a basis of trust between Nepal and India.

He further said that an understanding has been reached for the timely implementation of the commitments in this recent visit.

Gyawali also said that the statement made by Chief Minister of Province no 2 in course of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Nepal visit was condemnable. He also urged not to make the issues discussed between Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Indian PM Modi as the matter of argument.

He also expressed belief that the problems surfaced in Pancheshwor Hydropower Project as well as border issues would be resolved soon. RSS
