Nepal foreign minister Pradeep Gyawali with foreign minister S Jaishankar (ANI) NEW DELHI: Nepal and India discussed the contentious boundary issue during Friday’s joint commission meeting and have settled on a mechanism to solve the knotty problem, Nepal foreign minister Pradeep Gyawali said. Speaking to a select audience at the Indian Council for World Affairs, Gyawali said he and foreign minister S Jaishankar took up the boundary issue. “However, there are issues that need to be sorted first, away from the public,” he added. Gyawali said Nepal’s step of changing its map last year was linked to India’s decision to issue a new political map in November 2019. The maps were released following the re-organisation of J&K into two Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh and did not alter the international boundaries, India has said.
