Nepal’s position
  • Claims to be suffering from scarcity of essential goods like fuel and cooking gas due to “undeclared blockade” of a key trade point at the border with India.
  • Appealed to the international community to ensure effective and unhindered freedom of transit of land-locked countries is not curtailed.
  • Issue of India’s blockade is affecting implementation of the Vienna Programme of Action from year 2014 to 2024 of developing countries (LLDCs) like Nepal.
