October 09, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\nIn a move boosting Indo-Nepal ties, officials of both the countries gathered for the fifth meeting of the Eminent Persons Group (EPG) meeting that began on October 07, 2017 and concluded today.<\/p>\n
The 1950 Nepal-India Treaty of Peace and Friendship was one of the key issues discussed, wherein, the Nepali side sought changes in the treaty claiming that \u2018things would not be the same\u2019.<\/p>\n
Bhekh Bahadur Thapa, Coordinator of EPG from the Nepali side, informed that the group would
\nre-assess the developments that took place so far and make necessary recommendations to \u2018either replace the treaty or to put in place something new\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we have said this treaty will not remain the same, it does not matter however you name it-amendment or replacement,\u201d says Nilambar Acharya, another EPG member representing Nepali side.<\/p>\n
According to Thapa, the two sides discussed in detail about the issues Nepal has with the treaty. \u201cTalks were very positive even on some complex issues,\u201d said Thapa.<\/p>\n
Besides, the two sides also discussed border issues with a special emphasis on border management and regulations related to cross-border travel, checking of identity proofs, among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cTalks were held on overall border management based on international norms by keeping in mind
\nthat everyday lives of the people residing in border areas should not be affected,\u201d informed another EPG member Rajan Bhattarai.<\/p>\n
Bhattarai further informed that the discussions were also held on trade and transit, wherein, Nepal\u2019s trade with third countries, issues related to bilateral trade, trade facilitation, port facilities and security were also discussed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are no major differences on trade and transit, and we are close to agreement,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The next round of EPG meeting will be held in New Delhi on November 11-12, 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
