The annual border talks between India and Nepal will start from today i.e. November 12 in Delhi. The meeting will last for three days and will be attended by the chiefs of India’s Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and Nepal’s Armed Police Force (APF), top security forces of both the countries. This meeting is being considered special because it will be the first high-level talk between the security agencies of the two countries after the ‘Gen Z’ protest held in Kathmandu in September.
meeting agenda
The talks will focus on curbing cross-border crimes, real-time intelligence sharing system and coordinated border management between the two countries. Officials say that this meeting will prove to be an important step towards further strengthening peace and security on the border.
