Nepal Budget Overlooks Diplomacy, Experts Criticize

Nepal Budget Overlooks Diplomacy, Experts Criticize

Published about 7 hours ago

Nepal's recently announced budget of NPR 21.24 trillion for FY 2083/084 (likely 2026/27) has been criticized by foreign affairs experts for overlooking diplomacy and foreign relations. While prioritizing economic reforms, infrastructure, and technology, the budget lacks concrete programs and sufficient allocations for the diplomatic sector. Experts argue that in a geopolitically sensitive location between India and China, diplomacy is crucial for national security, economic development, and international prestige. Former diplomats suggest closing underperforming embassies and reallocating resources to strategic locations. They also emphasize the need for economic diplomacy to promote foreign investment and exports, urging the government to view diplomacy as an investment rather than an expense. The budget mentions making high-level foreign visits cost-effective but remains silent on expanding diplomatic activities and enhancing the capabilities of Nepali embassies abroad.
