With the resumptions of high-level visits between Nepal and India, the two countries are now planning to resume several trade, transit and connectivity talks stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the frosty relations over the boundary dispute.

Nepali officials said that starting December, more than half a dozen bilateral talks concerning trade and transit, commerce, infrastructure, water resources and boundary working groups, are on the pipeline, mostly through virtual meetings. The dates for a few meetings are yet to be announced.

In connectivity, the high-level meetings will discuss and negotiate on agendas like upgradation of link roads for cross-border trading, amendments to the agreements on railway services, revision to the Nepal-India Transit Treaty to fix the modality of inland waterways and transshipment facilities from all sea ports.
