Nepal's Ambassador to India Deep Kumar Upadhyay has remarked that geographic location of China and India as Nepal's neighbour is a great opportunity for the country.

Addressing the concluding session of a three-day interaction programme on 'Nepal India relations: Economic Development and Cooperation' jointly organised by Policy Research Foundation (NITI Foundation) Nepal, International Cooperation Council India and Nepal India Cooperation Forum, Birgunj, Ambassador Upadhyay said Nepal had already stepped into seizing such opportunity for economic benefits.

Acknowledging India's role in reducing energy crisis in Nepal, he demanded easy access for Nepali products to the Indian markets. Efforts were on to see an exchange window for Indian currency notes of 1,000 and 500 denomination remaining in Nepal in the aftermath of the decision of the Indian government to demonetize such notes.

Foundation's Managing Director Deepak Adhikari said there should always be dialogues and communications to further strengthen the bilateral relations existing between the two countries. RSS
