Congress General Minister Gagan Thapa has said that there is a crisis of trust between Nepal and India. He said this while speaking at a program organized by Pradeep Giri Institute in Veerganj on Saturday in the light of enthusiasm and struggle: memory of Pradeep Giri.
"There is a lot of crisis of trust between Nepal and India at the government level," he said, who was the speaker in the third session of the program, "When the issue of Nepal-India relations comes up, the issue of water resource use also comes up, regardless of whether it is the Koshi, Gandaki and Mahakali Treaty, we have our experiences and desires in them." He said. He said that the government of both countries will do the dialogue at the government level, but the dialogue that should be done at the level of the civil society can be done by the civil society of both countries.
He said that dialogue between the civil society of both countries on certain issues will facilitate the environment to solve many problems. He said, "It is not just a relationship between a person and a daughter," he said, "There is a need for debate and discussion between the communities of both countries, and the people of both countries should also open the way for dialogue between the government and the government." Facilitation in such work is only possible with leaders like Pradeep Giri, he said.
Recalling his long association with Pradeep Giri and during that time he visited India several times with Giri, General Minister Thapa said that he was also surprised to see Giri's close and personal association with Indian leaders.
