Nepal and India have intimate relations, he said, adding that the government is committed to resolving the two-country border issues via diplomatic channels based on the historic treaty, agreement and map. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained that as the two countries have had an open border for a long time, there are some cross-holdings in no-man&#8217;s-land between Nepal and India, and it was based on internal consensus. The locals from both countries on the border are using cross-border lands for cultivation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the very point PM Shah referred to, Minister Khanal asserted. &#8220;While responding to queries in a parliamentary meeting, PM Shah mentioned the name of a friendly country, the UK, which was directly related to when the Sugauli Treaty was signed in 1816, which set Nepal&#8217;s boundary,&#8221; Minister Khanal stated in the clarification. No third-country mediation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Nepal is not seeking third-country mediation on border issues at all,&#8221; Khanal argued, adding, &#8220;The PM only signalled that Nepal could take help for any additional resources of that time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RSS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister Khanal clarified that PM Shah&#8217;s statement regarding the Nepal-India border concerned &#8216;cross-border occupation&#8217;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":431112,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,3,4,2],"tags":[],"reporter":[],"class_list":["post-431119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-en-cover","category-english","category-en-news","category-top-stories-main"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431119"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431119"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431119\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":431120,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431119\/revisions\/431120"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431119"},{"taxonomy":"reporter","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reporter?post=431119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
