Foreign Policy
Nepal's foreign policy is guided by the principles of the United Nations Charter, non-alignment, international law, and the value of world peace. As a landlocked country situated between two large neighbors, China and India, Nepal maintains a balanced and neutral foreign policy.
Nepal's foreign policy is based on several key principles:
- Mutual respect for each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty
- Non-interference in each other's internal affairs
- Respect for mutual equality
- Non-aggression and peaceful settlement of disputes
- Cooperation for mutual benefit
Nepal maintains diplomatic relations with over 150 countries and is an active member of various international organizations, including the United Nations, Non-Aligned Movement, SAARC, BIMSTEC, and WTO. Nepal's foreign policy aims to enhance these relationships while promoting national interests.
Nepal places high importance on regional cooperation, particularly through SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) and BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation). These platforms allow Nepal to engage with neighboring countries on issues of mutual interest.
Nepal's foreign policy is closely linked to its national security interests. As a landlocked country between two major powers, Nepal maintains a delicate balance in its relations with India and China while safeguarding its sovereignty and independence.
