<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the joint statement issued on May 15 in Beijing during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China, the two countries have agreed to expand border trade through Lipu-Lekh Pass. The 28th point of the joint communiqué states that ‘the two sides agreed to hold negotiation on augmenting the list of traded commodities, and expand border trade at the Lipu-Lekh Pass.’</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The main intention of the joint communiqué is to recognize and enhance border areas co-operation through border trade, pilgrimage by people of the two countries. It also agreed to effectively promote mutual trust, and broaden co-operation, so as to transform the border into a bridge of cooperation and exchange.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From Nepali perspective, there could be a question as to whether India and China needed to obtain Nepal’s consent to expand border trade at Lipu-Lekh Pass, a Far-Western point of Nepal, which Nepal claims to be a part of its territory. The Lipulekh Pass is located at the Nepal-China borderline. However, Indian para-military forces have occupied it since 1962 after the Sino-India border war. It is an ancient route for traders and pilgrims transiting between Nepal and Tibet.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the historical maps depict Nepal-China borderline runs not only to Lipulekh Pass including Kalapani area, but also extends westward up to Limpiyadhura. The Sugauli Treaty of 1816 between Nepal and British India mentions the western boundary of Nepal as the ‘River Kalee.’</div>

Top 10 Significant Contributions of Gurkhas in Wars

Rahul 0 Nepal, Nepal History, world History

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">H</span>uman history has seen the rise and fall of a number of effective and lethal military forces. But, it rarely gets any better than the mighty Gurkhas when it comes to taking the fight to the enemies in the most unforgiving terrains. On the exterior, the Gurkhas are disarmingly quiet, peaceful, and always seen bearing a wide smile. But when someone comes threatening down their doors, their offensive demeanor and sharp khukuris are enough to send the biggest of adversaries into retreat. The Great Britain’s East India Company was one of the first to witness the wrath of enraged Gurkhas. The conflict ended with the British hastily striking a peace deal with them, and having realized their mighty, they started recruiting the Gurkhas into the British force. Since then, the Gurkhas has been Britain’s special detachment assigned to the toughest of the operations and battles. Here is a list of top 10 Gurkha contributions in wars.</div>

 Mt. Everest is called ‘Sagarmatha’ in Nepali. This translates to ‘goddess of the sky’. Tibetans and Sherpas call this mighty peak ‘Chomolungma’, which translates to ‘mother goddess of the earth’. The number of people to have attempted this peak is 4000 approximately, however, till date; only 660 expeditioners successfully summited this great peak. 142 people died trying to climb this mother of all peaks and with that, Mt. Everest is approximately 60 million years old and still going strong. And to add to this, three countries: Nepal, Tibet and India are visible from this peak. Despite the success, failures and deaths this peak has caused, it continues to attract the brave and bold to its summit.</div>
