MUST WATCH: EAM Jaishankar tells this ''clear & strong'' message to Nepal FM Shishir Khanal to his face
During his meeting with Shisir Khanal, Foreign Minister of Nepal, EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "We collaborate closely to maintain security along our long and uniquely open border. Our two countries have always stood by each other in times of need. In the wake of the ongoing crisis in West Asia, the Middle East, we have ensured uninterrupted fuel supplies to Nepal. The importance accorded to this relationship by both sides has only recently been demonstrated by the excellent visit of Mr Rabi Lamichhane, the President of your party. I would like to take this opportunity to convey our best wishes for the success of your government. There are strong complementarities between the objectives outlined by your government and the initiatives that India has taken in the neighbourhood. I want today to very clearly and strongly send a message of collaboration and cooperation. We believe that today there is an opportunity to decisively shift the trajectory of India-Nepal relations and to realise the full potential of our ties. I'm confident that our deliberations today will help us advance towards this objective..."
