It also expressed its concerns to the news and comments about the Indian map and Kalapani area.

It said that the Foreign Minister-level meetings of the joint-commissions of the two neighbours has given responsibility of settling the border disputes between Nepal and India to the foreign secretaries of the two countries. They will settle the issue with the suggestions from the technicians assigned to the tasks.

The government has reiterated its commitment to secure the international borders of the country and said that the issue would be resolved through the diplomatic approach on the basis of historical documents and facts.
