| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Nepal is strategically located in the Himalayan mountain range and has acting as a buffer between India and China. With the growth of two Asian giants – China and India, Nepal has also gained importance. It is now considered to be a bridge between the two countries instead of being a buffer, as it was considered in the past. The Himalayan region of Nepal has a strategic position between India and China; yet, tension and instability related issues always exist in this region due to security concerns, unresolved territorial disputes and political turmoil in Nepal (Mathou 2005). From China’s view point, Nepal is the main base to provide not only peace and security in Tibet but also provide natural resources. |
