'Nepal has not asked for compensation from India'

Kathmandu has not sought financial compensation from India following catastrophic flash floods, according to Nepal's Foreign Affairs Minister Shisir Khanal. Khanal dismissed reports that Nepal had formally demanded climate compensation from India or any other country. He emphasized the need for the global community to consider the disaster in the context of climate change and its impact on Nepal.

Khanal urged the three regional countries - China, India, and Nepal - to come together for better preparedness against climate change impacts. He expressed gratitude for India's immediate relief efforts, including airlifts of relief materials and rescue teams.
