Le Premier ministre népalais Balendra Shah affirme que le Népal a empiété sur le territoire indien

Le Premier ministre népalais, Balendra Shah, a déclaré le 31 mai 2026 que le Népal avait empiété sur le territoire indien à certains endroits. Cette remarque a provoqué un tollé au parlement, poussant le ministère des Affaires étrangères à clarifier la situation.

Balendra Shah a tenu ces propos en répondant à une question sur la région de Kalapani. Les législateurs de l'opposition ont exigé que cette déclaration soit retirée du compte rendu parlementaire.

Le ministère des Affaires étrangères a précisé plus tard que le Premier ministre faisait référence au no man's land et aux occupations transfrontalières. Le ministère a noté que les zones situées le long des frontières fluviales ont créé des situations où les citoyens d'un pays utilisent des terres situées dans l'autre.

Le ministère a cité le traité de Sugauli de 1816 et a indiqué que la démarcation restait en suspens à Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh, Kalapani et Susta. Les deux pays restent déterminés à résoudre ces problèmes par le dialogue diplomatique.
