Strike A Delicate Balance In Foreign Policy

The survival, stability and progress of Nepal pivot on its act of nurturing internal social cohesion and balancing with the neighbours — India and China and other great powers. Successful adaptation in the changing geo-strategic landscape is central to ensure its destiny and affirm the nation’s historical aspiration of sovereignty. The interconnected world supposes Nepali leaders to discern that big nations should not take any decisions in areas of its vital interests but in mutual consultation in matters of shared interests. There is a risk in appeasing one power at the cost of another and even not calculating its own enlightened public and national interests for leaders’ imperatives of survival.
