In this incredibly topical episode, we are joined by the research director of NIICE, Nepal, Dr Pramod Jaiswal in discussing Nepal's foreign policy, primarily in regard to its large neighbours in India and China. The conversation covers the history of the disputed Kalapani and Lipulekh regions that have stirred up controversy on the Indo-Nepalese border as well as the Chinese construction in the Humla region of Nepal. We further talk about the Madheshi people, the Gorkha Regiment, Nepal's involvement in the BRI and a possible tripartite alliance between India, China and Nepal and what that would mean for the development of Nepal.
