Indeed, even as its executive P K Dahal Prachanda plays out an intense exercise in careful control to keep both India and China content, Nepal has frustrated specialists by choosing to hold its first joint military exercise with China ahead of schedule one year from now.
Attempting to play down the essentialness of the activity, which is named Pratikar, Nepal's minister to India Deep Upadhyay revealed to TOI the military engagement would be on a "little scale" and that there was nothing for India to be stressed over.
"We have done comparative activities with some different nations too in the past to have the capacity to manage the Maoists," said Upadhyay.
"There's truly very little in it. Whichever way you take a gander at it, Nepal has an extraordinary association with India and that is not going to change on account of any such exercise," included Upadhyay.
The activity is intended to help Nepal with counter-fear operations. India, notwithstanding, has been directing such hostile to fear joint military activities every year with Nepal for 10 years. Nepal now choosing to proceed with a comparative exercise with China is probably going to add another layer of multifaceted nature to India's ties with both Nepal and China, not marking down Prachanda's endeavors to reestablish equality in Nepal's ties with India and China after he assumed control as leader from K P Sharma Oli.
As per MEA, India's guard ties with Nepal contain military instructive trades, joint activities, and supplies of military stores and gear. That is not all however. The military ties between the 2 nations are so inseparably entwined that more than 32,000 Nepalese Gorkhas keep on serving in Indian Army and Nepal is home to more than 1.2 lakh ex-servicemen – and their wards – who draw annuity from India.

"In the event that the Sino-Nepalese joint military exercise is actualized, this will improve reciprocal relations. Security participation can reinforce political shared trust and advance respective collaboration. Later on, Nepal and China may set up standardized and organized security system. In the mean time, the Sino-Nepalese relationship can set a decent case for encompassing nations, along these lines additionally improving China's collaboration with nations in South Asia," it said in a commentary piece.
While the article contended that China's security ties with Nepal were not gone for any third nation, Indian authorities said China's military ties with Nepal don't generally help India when the administration is attempting to check Chinese nearness in the questioned Gilgit-Bastistan area in Pakistan regulated Kashmir as a component of its financial hallway with Pakistan. In spite of having openly kept up that it wasn't acting against India's interests, Beijing has indicated little respect for the administration's worries over the passage which goes through sovereign Indian region.
