India has rejected Nepal’s objection to the reopening of India-China trade through the Lipulekh Pass. Nepal claims the Kalapani region, including Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura, as its territory. India’s Ministry of External Affairs said these claims are “untenable” and “not based on historical facts.” It noted that border trade with China has taken place through Lipulekh since 1954, only stopping due to Covid. Nepal had warned India against activities in the area, including road building. India, however, said it is open to dialogue and resolving boundary issues through diplomacy while continuing trade with China. (PC: PTI)
