After two back-to-back high-level engagements between Nepal and India over the past few days, the two neighbours are now looking to hold a meeting of their Boundary Working Group.

Officials familiar with the development say the meeting will be held “very soon” and that it will be significant at a time when the two countries are embroiled in boundary disputes.

Nepal has proposed the meeting either in the last week of August or some time in September, according to two officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Department of Survey.

A response from India is awaited, they said.

The Boundary Working Group is a joint agency constituted by the governments of Nepal and India in 2014 to carry out works in the fields of construction, restoration and repair of boundary pillars including clearance of ‘no-man’s land’ and other technical tasks.
