Nepal's CPN-UML Advocates Strong India Ties for Economic Prosperity

The Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) emphasized the importance of maintaining close, friendly relations with India for Nepal's economic growth. Party leaders, including Dr. Rajan Bhattarai and KP Sharma Oli, advocate for resolving bilateral issues through dialogue while ensuring non-interference in internal matters.

The Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) stressed on Thursday that the landlocked nation can achieve economic prosperity by fostering close ties with India, declaring it will not permit any activities against its southern neighbor.

Senior party leader Dr. Rajan Bhattarai made these remarks ahead of a parliamentary confidence vote which could see former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli return to power.

Bhattarai asserted that economic progress and foreign investment depend on friendly relations with India, despite past criticisms and current geopolitical challenges.
