Nepal-China BRI Conundrum
May 29, 2019
Research Fellow, IDSA, Dr. Nihar R. Nayak’s article on Nepal’s BRI Policy, titled ‘Nepal-China BRI Conundrum’ has been published by the Asian Institute of Diplomacy and International Affairs (AIDIA), a foreign policy think-tank in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 29, 2019.
Given the revival of US policy on the Himalayan region, India’s reservations over BRI and China’s hidden agenda behind selecting specific projects under the BRI, Nepal’s desire to take benefits from BRI could be delayed further. Instead of completely depending on the BRI, Nepal could explore other options to achieve its developmental aspirations, writes Dr. Nayak.
