Although there is no active conflict between Pakistan and Nepal, the two countries are affected by broader South Asian tensions, particularly the India-Pakistan rivalry. These dynamics influence Nepal’s foreign policy, internal security, and regional engagement strategies.
Nepal has strengthened border monitoring and internal security measures during periods of heightened Indo-Pakistani tension. Its approach emphasizes de-escalation, dialogue, and adherence to international norms, avoiding military involvement. Pakistan, on the other hand, balances its regional ambitions with strategic partnerships with China and the U.S., aiming to maintain influence and counter threats from India.
Experts argue that collaboration between Nepal and Pakistan, even at a diplomatic and military training level, contributes to regional stability and highlights the importance of non-aligned, cooperative policies in a volatile region.
