Jumpstarting Nepal-Bhutan Relationship
John Narayan Parajuli
A breakthrough in Nepal-Bhutan relationship in the past had been rendered near impossible. With resettlement of Bhutanese refugees and revision of Bhutan-India Friendship Treaty 1949, there is tremendous scope for a strong bilaterally beneficial relationship now.
