Need To Follow Balanced Foreign Policy

Nepal has always followed a balanced foreign policy, not taking any sides of one country or the other, even in the most difficult times of international history. One can easily understand the quandary this country faced when it had just opened up its doors to the outside world. Soon after, the Cold War had started with most nations taking the side of one super power or the other. Here, we must remember history and not forget the major contribution of the nation's founding father Prithvi Narayan Shah, who unified the till then fragmented Nepal and built this present modern country, where we all live now as sovereign citizens of an independent country.
