The two countries are revisiting the issue after seven years. The
previous mandate, which was in effect from 1981 to 2007, saw the

sovereignty. There are a couple swathes of land that both countries

reinvigorated regional diplomacy, representatives from the Indian and

security. Modi’s attaché arranged the talks when they visited Kathmandu
in August.
