Foreign Policy
Nepal's foreign policy is dominated by the need to balance India and China. India has deep cultural, economic, and political ties with Nepal and controls key trade and transit routes. China has expanded its presence through infrastructure projects and diplomatic engagement.
Nepal pursues a policy of non-alignment and equidistance between its two giant neighbors. It is a founding member of SAARC and a member of the Non-Aligned Movement. Nepal has intermittent tensions with India over border demarcation, trade blockades, and perceived interference in domestic politics.
