The dialogue to resolve the border disputes is expected to kick off soon,\u201d Dr Nayak told Kathmandu Pati.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said that there could be a joint commission level meeting (foreign minister level) or foreign secretary level meeting soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGenerally, a foreign intelligence chief does not make a foreign trip openly. His visit to Nepal took place after receiving a green signal from Prime Minister Modi. The message was, \u2018lets resolve the disputes with Nepal soon.\u2019 This means there would be a high-level dialogue toward resolving border disputes with Nepal soon,\u201d said Dr Nayak, who holds a PHd in International Relations from Jawaharlal Nehru University.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said that the US and India have forged a strong strategic alliance in South Asia that also could counter joint operations of China and Pakistan in the region. India has further increased its engagement with other South Asian countries to demonstrate that it continues to be an influential power in the region, according to Dr Nayak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asked whether the US has changed its policy to view Nepal through India\u2019s lens, he said, \u201cNot only in Nepal, the US frames and pursues its policies in South Asia in line with those of India. And, it follows India when it comes to the broader policies of South Asia.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Dr Nayak believes that the upcoming visit of Indian Chief of Army Staff General Mukund Naravane will be centered on strengthening the military ties between the two countries. \u201cThe Indian army chief\u2019s visit does not have anything to do with political relations,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0KATHMANDU-\u00a0 Dr Nihar Nayak, a research fellow who covers Nepali affairs at the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA), has claimed that there could be a dialogue between Nepal and India to settle border disputes between the two countries.\u00a0 The IDSA is an autonomous institute funded by the Indian Ministry of Defence.
