Nepalese Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli has raised objections to an agreement between India and China regarding the use of the Lipulekh trade route, claiming it as Nepalese territory, during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. India has firmly rejected Nepal’s claim, stating it is not supported by historical facts. This development highlights ongoing tensions in the region, as Nepal seeks to assert its territorial claims while India maintains its stance on sovereignty. The situation underscores the complexities of India-Nepal-China relations and the necessity for India to remain vigilant in safeguarding its territorial integrity amidst external pressures and regional dynamics.
