Nepal’s Foreign Minister has informed parliament that the country’s northern border with China is not fully demarcated and remains subject to ongoing discussion. The statement acknowledges that a formal protocol exists requiring regular joint inspections of the boundary. However, these inspections have not occurred since 2006, raising concerns about the current state of the border. The Minister’s comments suggest existing agreements haven’t been fully implemented, leaving room for potential future disputes. This revelation comes amid broader regional attention to border issues. The lack of recent inspections hinders efforts to maintain clarity and prevent misunderstandings along the shared frontier. Further dialogue and renewed commitment to the protocol are implied as necessary steps.
