New Delhi, Kathmandu: A new government has been formed in Nepal. Prime Minister K.P. Arzu Rana has become the Foreign Minister in Deuba Sharma Oli's cabinet. As soon as she was appointed to this post, she said on the India-Nepal border dispute that now there is no need for pillars for this. According to the new technology (from satellite images) the border of both the countries can be marked. The western border is already marked by the Mahakali River.

It is noteworthy that President Ramchandra Paudel on Sunday appointed Oli, the leader of Nepal's largest party Communist Party, as the Prime Minister. Oli has the support of the Panchayat (Parliament)'s largest party Nepali Congress and other smaller forces.

Regarding the border dispute, Foreign Minister Arzoo Rana said that the dispute should be resolved on the basis of facts and evidence. She asked to abandon the old system of demarcation and said that there is a need to make new maps based on geography, history as well as GPS.

He said that now there is no need to worry. Where are the boundary pillars now? Today we have a lot of information, faxes, evidence.

It is noteworthy that Rana is the fourth woman foreign minister of Nepal. Before her, Bimla Rai Paudel, Sujata Koirala and Sahana Pradhan were foreign ministers.

Arzoo Rana's becoming the Foreign Minister is expected to establish good relations between India and Nepal. Arzoo Rana's husband, who is currently the President of the Nepali Congress, was the Prime Minister of Nepal in 2022. He also visited India and had talks with PM Modi. He asked for a joint arrangement to resolve the border dispute. He also said that open borders should not be used by unwanted elements. At that time Modi had said, “There is no match in the world for friendship like India-Nepal. We both are partners in happiness and sorrow.
