Balendra will meet with the ambassador of India and China, which ‘game’ of Nepal in the balance of diplomacy?
He was the main face of Zen-Zi movement in Nepal. It is against that Balendra Shah that this time on the streets, Jane G! There have also been demands for the resignation of the Prime Minister of Nepal. In this situation, Balendra will meet with the ambassadors of India and China this week.
According to a report in Nepali media ‘The Kathmandu Post’, Balendra had so far avoided meeting with foreign ambassadors. But this time the self-imposed rule is about to be broken. According to a source close to the Prime Minister of Nepal, through this meeting, Balendra is actually going to walk on the path of diplomatic balance policy. After a few days, 100 days of Balendra Sarkar will be completed. It is known that the Prime Minister of Nepal will hold a separate meeting with the ambassadors of India and China at that time. However, the date has not been announced yet. The report also said that Balendra’s main goal is to show that New Delhi and Beijing are equally important to Kathmandu.
According to a section of analysts, Nepal has been following the principle of ‘balancing act’ for a long time. Kathmandu wants to maintain its diplomatic reach amidst the influence of the two powers – historical, cultural and economic ties with India on the one hand, and China’s massive infrastructure investment and projects like the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ on the other.
India is one of the largest trading partners of Nepal. Nepal is dependent on New Delhi for most of the energy, food, medicine. On the other hand, Beijing has increased its influence in recent years by increasing investment in Nepal’s rail, road and infrastructure development projects. As a result, leaning towards one side is risky for Kathmandu – both politically and economically.
