Leader Sujata Koirala Emphasizes Harmonious Neighborly Relations and Unified Congress

Chaitra 7, Kathmandu – Nepali Congress leader Sujata Koirala has emphasized the need for Nepal to maintain harmonious relations with its neighboring countries.

At a wreath-laying ceremony organized today by the GP Koirala Foundation in Bhaktapur to mark the 15th memorial day of peace advocate Girija Prasad Koirala, she called for Nepal to adopt a balanced foreign policy.

“Good relations with neighboring countries are essential to prevent instability in the nation. To protect the country, instability must be eliminated. We should treat all nations equally and not take sides,” she stated.

Sujata Koirala emphasized that Nepal must move forward based on the principles of Panchsheel.

She highlighted Girija Prasad Koirala’s vital role in bringing all political parties into the peace process through consensus, cooperation, and unity.

“Even though hundreds of his party workers were killed by Maoists and defeat in elections was certain, Girija Prasad Koirala played an important role in bringing the then Maoists into the peace process to save the nation,” she said. “Without Girijababu, the Maoists would not have joined the peace process.”

She stressed that since Nepali Congress is a responsible party for the nation, it should move forward united.

Sujata Koirala remarked that the Congress remains a strong force in the country and there is no possibility of it fading, even after electoral defeats.

“Congress resolves any problems, and we must move forward by acknowledging past mistakes and weaknesses,” she added.

She also reminded everyone to remember the contributions of senior leaders such as BP Koirala, Ganesh Man Singh, Subarna Shamsher Rana, Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, Girija Prasad Koirala, and Sushil Koirala for the country’s development.

Highlighting that the future of Nepal belongs to the youth, she urged for youth representation in all party bodies. Rastriya Samachar Samiti
