Nepal Police intervenes in a live torch protest march by members of the Nepal Student Union as they take to the streets decrying the unilateral move by India and China to start the trade route through Lipulekh, a territory claimed by Nepal, on August 22, 2025.

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.
