Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal Downplays India Border Dispute

Kathmandu. Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal has normalized the border dispute with India, stating that such problems only occur between neighboring countries. Speaking at the NDTV World India-Nepal Dialogue on Thursday, Minister Khanal claimed that the border dispute is not as big as it is discussed outside.

Mentioning that the open border between the two countries is unique in the world, he said that people can travel easily without any documents. 'Border problems only exist between neighbors; if you are not a neighbor, there is no such problem,' he said.
