Oli proposes review of 1947 tripartite pact

Kathmandu, Jun 13 (UNI) Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has proposed a review of the 1947 tripartite agreement between Nepal, India and Britain during his meeting with outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May, according to Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali.
However, a statement issued by a spokesperson for the British prime minister made no mention of Oli’s proposal, adding to the confusion of agitating Gurkha veterans who have long been demanding equal pay, said a report in The Kathmandu Post on Wednesday.
The statement from 10 Downing Street said that the British prime minister “stressed the important role of the Gurkhas, who continue to serve in the British Armed Forces with honour and distinction” while welcoming the strength of relations between the two countries. May’s office also noted that formal ties have endured for more than 200 years.
