  • PM Oli Reaffirms Nepal’s Commitment to Strengthening Ties with Neighbors

    PM Oli Reaffirms Nepal’s Commitment to Strengthening Ties with Neighbors

    Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has reiterated Nepal’s commitment to strengthening relations with its neighboring countries. While addressing the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, PM Oli emphasized that Nepal conducts its foreign policy under the principle of “Friendship with all, enmity with none.”

    In his speech, Oli also expressed his views on ongoing conflicts, including the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war. During his stay in New York, he met with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and high-ranking officials from the U.S. aid agencies, including USAID and MCC.

    Oli’s 22-minute address touched on the climate crisis, increasing geopolitical conflicts, and the global rise in military spending, all of which, he warned, are leading to global instability.

    “Both humanity and the planet are on the brink of a climate crisis. Geopolitical conflicts have resurfaced. Military expenditures are rapidly increasing, and the competition for arms remains constant. The fear of nuclear conflict is higher than ever.”

    Oli called for global leaders to foster cooperation and mutual collaboration, especially in these adverse conditions. He also reaffirmed Nepal’s belief that dialogue and diplomacy are the only solutions to the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

    Regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict, Oli reiterated Nepal’s support for a two-state solution, with both Israel and Palestine coexisting peacefully within internationally recognized borders, as per UN resolutions.

    Though Nepal has long supported the two-state solution, the country remained neutral in a recent UN vote that called for the end of Israel’s “illegal presence” in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, within one year.

    Oli also underscored Nepal’s foreign policy, emphasizing that Nepal seeks peaceful and cooperative relations with all nations, particularly its neighbors.

    “Nepal wants to further enhance close, friendly, and constructive relations with its neighbors and beyond. This must be based on mutual trust, sovereign equality, territorial integrity, non-interference in internal affairs, and the principle of peaceful coexistence,” he concluded.

    The scarcity of blood has surfaced nationwide including in the districts in the Valley and neighboring Kavrepalanchowk, it is said.

    NRCS Bhaktapur’s outgoing president Manoj Kumar Thapa said the NRCS-operated blood bank supplies 30-35 pints of blood each day, but the demand is up to 150 pints.
