It's nice to see diplomatic pleasantries, but I hope this translates into concrete action. Nepal is a crucial neighbor, and we need stable, outcome-oriented partnerships. The World Cup mention is a nice touch of soft power!

Jai Hind! Winning the World Cup twice is a massive achievement, and it's great our neighbors are acknowledging it. Balen Shah seems pragmatic. Hope the new government in Nepal works with India on development projects and trade. Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas should include our neighbors too.

Respectfully, while the congratulations are welcome, our foreign policy with Nepal needs consistency beyond electoral cycles. We've had ups and downs. The focus should be on people-to-people ties and resolving longstanding issues like the border and water treaties, not just diplomatic messages.
