Nepal Unequivocally Condemns Terrorism in All Forms and Manifestations: Foreign Minister Deuba

Minister for Foreign Affairs Arzu Rana Deuba has said that Nepal has always stood against terrorism and strongly condemns terrorism in all forms and manifestations.     

Addressing a gathering that the Indian Embassy in Nepal had organized in Kathmandu on Saturday to pay tributes to those who lost their lives in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam (Kashmir), she made it clear that Nepal has always stood against terrorism and in favor of peace.    
Stating that double standards should never be adopted while dealing with terrorism, she clarified that Nepal is firmly committed to ensuring that its territory is not used by any terrorist group for any reason and against any country and people.      
Nepal stands by the people and the government of India at this hour of sorrow and stands shoulder to shoulder with it in the fight against terrorism, she said. 

"Our open borders are a symbol of trust in each other and our family ties also bind us. We have always stood together in times of happiness or crisis. When the earthquake devastated Nepal, India was the first to extend a helping hand," she recalled.     
Minister Rana thanked the Government of India for helping to repatriate the mortal remains of Nepali youth Sudip Neupane, a victim of the Pahalgam tragedy.     
Minister Rana paid tributes to those who lost their lives in the terrorist attack and extended condolences to the bereaved families.
