Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU), New Delhi, organized a International Conference on India, China and Nepal. The Conference was well attended by renowned scholars. I had also a opportunity to deliver lecture in the Conference. The Major point of my lecture was: - China and India both are a fastest growing economy. They way India and China conduct their bilateral relation in days to come, would shape the global scenario and would have global security implication. - The political stability and stable policy regime in Nepal is critically important factor for peace and stability in this part of the world. - Nepal can have a best relation with China without jeopardizing the relation with India and likewise, Nepal can have mutually rewarding friendship with India without jeopardizing friendship with China. - The paradigm shift is taking place in the arena of foreign policy. The goals and objectives of foreign policy is changing. But, leaders in this part of the world is stuck in cold war mind set. - There is enough space in this earth for growth and prosperity of India, China and Nepal. There is no Zero sum game things. The explosion of technology, particularly the revolution taking place in the area of information technology is tremendous. The leadership in this part of the world must be able to explore the areas of cooperation and linkages. The vast potentialities is under utilized in this part of the world. - Nepal must have a workable strategy to harness the benefits of tremendous economic growth taking place in Asias two giant in India and China. In order to be benefited from the high growth economy of her neighbors, Nepal needs a stable political regime and enlightened policy framework. The weak governance in Nepal is greatest obstacle for economic growth and Development. The era of Aid is gone. It creates a aid dependence syndrome. Nepal needs a massive foreign direct investment for its over all development. Nepal needs a broad based and inclusive economic growth for peace and stability. Nepal must be able to generate massive employment to sustain the democratization. -It is positive development that despite a border dispute between India and China both are becoming the largest trading partners. - The stable, prosperous and strong Nepal is in the interest of both India and China. - There is no alternative to dialogue in diplomacy.
