MEA rejects 'third party' role in India-Nepal border issue after Balen Shah's China, UK remark sparks controversy

India's Ministry of External Affairs rejected any "third parties" in the India-Nepal border issue. This came after Nepal Prime Minister Balen Shah said he spoke with China and the UK about the dispute. The ministry noted that while most of the border is marked, some segments are unresolved due to river shifts and land occupation.
