Mr Oli’s speech at the civic reception, organised by the India Foundation and Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, merits a close reading. He presented a detailed exposition of the principles and values that will guide his government’s foreign policy…….For instance, he referred to the principles of Panchsheel as the leitmotif of his foreign policy. Specifically, he emphasised the potential of Asian values in fostering closer relations between the Asian countries and in contributing “to the world’s better future.”
