    Departure from the norm (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When Prime Minister Balendra Shah departed from Kathmandu on Tuesday on a scheduled Qatar Airways flight, there was no guard of honour, no diplomats and officials lining up to say bye, no imported gladioli to be handed to the bodyguard, no motorcade with flashing lights bringing him to the ramp below the plane. He stepped out of his limo onto the tarmac in his signature all-black attire, shades and Goldstar shoes. Shook hands with Home Minister Sudan Gurung. And that was it. This low-key departu

    More than a week after the catastrophic Himalayan tsunami that tore through the Nepal-Tibet border and swept away entire villages downstream across five districts, the country is coming to terms with the human and economic cost of the disaster. The death toll from the disaster has reached 1,287, with more than 5,000 people still unaccounted for in Nepal and China. While the response to last week’s flood from foreign governments, multilateral agencies, and the international community has still ce

    Read excerpt

    It will soon be one year since Nepal’s youth-led protests led to regime change and an election in which voters placed infinite trust in a new post-ideological leadership. Prime Minister Balendra Shah promised a lean and mean government to clean up the bureaucracy, deliver services, attract investment and create jobs. Even sceptics who believed that decades of mismanagement could not be solved in months wanted to give the RSP government a chance. Investor sentiment had been badly dented by the ar

    Excerpt · English

    Global geopolitics is all topsy-turvy, the old order is falling apart and new strategic alliances are taking shape. And in Nepal, Prime Minister Balendra Shah must steer his ship of state through uncharted seas. For five months since taking office, he has kept to himself — either due to a lack of confidence or as a deliberate paradigm shift in foreign policy intended to force Nepal’s giant neighbours and the international community to take it more seriously. This has had the unintended consequen

    Geopolitical convention season in Nepal (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Suddenly, after nearly five months in office, Prime Minister Balendra Shah has come out of his cave to meet with business leaders, bankers and investors. Then this week in a departure from his earlier practice of meeting diplomats in a group setting, he sat down for one-on-ones with Indian Ambassador Naveen Srivastava and Chinese Ambassador Zhang Maoming. Diplomats representing Nepal’s giant neighbours and Prime Minister Shah finally had the chance to size each other up. The previous meetings we
