India Nepal’s largest trading partner
Nepal shares a range of more than 1,850 km with five Indian states Sikkim, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Surrounded by the site, Nepal is very much dependent on India for transporting goods and services. Nepal is also important in terms of India’s holistic strategic interests in the region, and leaders of the two countries have often mentioned centuries-old “roti-daughter” relations. Historical, cultural and geographical relations between India and Nepal are deep. Recently, the two countries signed several agreements to promote trade, energy and connectivity. India is the largest trading partner in Nepal, and both countries are cooperating in the development of infrastructure. However, border disputes such as Kalapani and lipule issues have caused tension from time to time. Both governments are trying to resolve these issues through dialogue. In recent years, India provided Covid-19 vaccine and financial assistance to Nepal, which further strengthened mutual trust.
