Kathmandu – Foreign Minister NP Saud has said that the border issue between Nepal and India should be resolved on the basis of political consensus.

Speaking at a program organized in Kathmandu on the occasion of India’s 75th Republic Day on Monday, he said that the administrative mechanism created to solve the border problem should find a political solution after technical work.

“When solving the border problem, there should be consensus politically, we also have a mechanism administratively. That mechanism should be active. After it is active, both the neighbors should solve this problem diplomatically, based on the facts. This matter has already started between the two countries, he said.
