As close neighbors, India and Nepal share a strong partnership, engaging in multi-sectoral cooperation. The implementation of HICDPs underscores India’s continued commitment to supporting Nepal’s growth by strengthening infrastructure in key sectors, fostering long-term development, and improving the well-being of the Nepali people.
