Navigating Power Balances: Nepal's Foreign Policy Dynamics Between India and China

Ammu S, Jinil John


Abstract: Nepal is at the centre of a complicated geopolitical dynamics due to its location between China and India, two of Asia's biggest countries. This article explores the intricate interplay of Nepal's foreign policy as it navigates the competing interests of these two influential neighbours. In addition to its long-standing strategic, cultural, and economic ties to India, Nepal has made an effort to strengthen its diplomatic and business relationships by taking advantage of China's growing worldwide influence. The study examines key periods of policy shifts, the role of economic dependence, and the impact of regional initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). It also takes into account Nepal's ambitions for sovereignty and fair diplomacy, as well as internal political issues. By analysing Nepal's strategies to manage this triangular relationship, the article sheds light on broader regional dynamics and the challenges faced by smaller states in pursuing non-aligned and pragmatic foreign policies amidst great-power competition.
