When India, China grow together, rise of Asia is ‘unstoppable’: Nepal

NEW DELHI: Nepal on Thursday said when India and China rise together, the rise of Asia is “unstoppable” and hoped for harmonious ties between its two “big neighbours”.

Nepal’s Foreign Minister Pradeep Kumar Gyawali, in his address at the Raisina Dialogue here, also pitched for strengthening of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) and the implementation of the agenda of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal (BBIN) sub-regional cooperation.

“India and Nepal can work together towards common progress and prosperity, better physical connectivity and greater people-to-people connection,” Gyawali said.

On the sidelines of the dialogue, the Nepalese Foreign Minister met her Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj and reviewed recent developments in bilateral ties across diverse sectors, including development projects and connectivity, according to Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar.

In his address, Gyawali said: “Next door, we have always emphasised the good and harmonious relations between our two big neighbours (China and India). When these two rise together, the rise of Asia becomes unstoppable.” (AGENCIES)
