The Members of the House of Representatives (HoR) continued expressing concern over the agreement signed between India and China for reopening the trade route via Lipulekh and called for resolving the issue through diplomatic process.

In the Special Hour of HoR meeting today, Ramhari Khatiwada said the agreement relating to reopening of the trade routes via the Lipulekh, Limipyadhura and Kalapani area should be diplomatically addressed. Stating that Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is likely to visit both neighbours in a few days, he emphasized the need to solve the issue through diplomatic talks. 

He underscored the need for all Nepalis to unite and support the Head of the Government in this issue.

Likewise, Metmani Chaudhary echoed a similar view as Khatiwada and urged the government to raise the issue and resolve it by dealing diplomatically. 

Prabhu Shah questioned why the diplomatic notes sent by Nepal to India and China a decade ago asserting Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani belong to Nepal went unacknowledged. 

He also raised a question about the performances of the ambassadors in those countries and thus demanded their performance evaluation.
