Nepali Student Union Protest Against The Trade Agreement Between India And China Via Lipulekh

Members of the Nepal Student Union chant slogans decrying the unilateral move by India and China to start the trade route through Lipulekh, a territory claimed by Nepal, on August 22, 2025. India and China agree to reopen border trade through Lipulekh Pass, a point located 56 kilometers inside Nepal's western frontier in Limpiyadhura. The agreement is made during Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to India on August 18 and 19, 2025. Both countries make the agreement during a meeting between Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Point nine of the joint communique mentions the resumption of border trade. ''Both sides agree to the re-opening of border trade through the three designated trading points, namely Lipulekh Pass, Shipki La Pass, and Nathu La Pass.'' Earlier in the year 2020, Nepal amends its constitution incorporating a new political and administrative map in the preamble of the constitution. The new map includes the tri-junction of Limpiyadhura, Kalapani, and Lipulekh, which remains a disputed area between Nepal and India. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
