Nepal PM Balendra Shah to meet Indian, Chinese envoys on August 10
The agenda is expected to be largely introductory, with the ambassadors briefing the Nepal PM on the state of bilateral relations and conveying any messages from their respective governments
Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah is scheduled to meet Indian and Chinese ambassadors on August 10, 2026, marking his first individual diplomatic engagements since taking office over 100 days ago. He will first meet with the Indian envoy, followed by the Chinese counterpart, before also meeting with the U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires on August 11.
This departure from the tradition of joint meetings comes after communal violence in the Terai and Madhesh regions delayed the first round of bilateral talks. The agenda is anticipated to be mainly introductory, with the ambassadors providing Shah with updates on bilateral relations and conveying any messages from their respective governments.
