In a meeting at the Ministry of Defense today, Deputy Prime Minister Khadka stated that the UN Charter, Non-Alignment, Panchsheel, International Law and the values of world peace are the foundations of Nepal’s foreign policy operations and mentioned that sovereign equality, territorial integrity, mutual interest and mutual benefit guide Nepal’s foreign relations.
He said that Nepal has made a special contribution to international peace and security by participating in the United Nations peacekeeping mission.
