Nepal is free to act independently in international affairs but must be vigilant and learn from Sri Lanka and other nations which have also signed agreements with other countries in the region."
Speaking on the theme of "Soft Power Dimension: India-Nepal Relations," General Bipin Rawat said it is necessary to strengthen the existing relationship further for the peace and prosperity for both countries who are already "inseparable in every way."
Talking about the economic relations between the two countries, CDS Rawat said, "India's economic relations with Nepal is quite unique although much more could be done.
