As the global order shifts due to intensified great-power competition and technological disruption, Nepal faces both challenges and opportunities. The country is encouraged to adopt a modern four-layer strategic framework that emphasizes stable relations with India and China, deeper engagement in the Asian region, partnerships with middle powers, and active participation in international organizations. By fostering national confidence through political stability and good governance, Nepal can pursue an independent foreign policy that aligns with its national interests while engaging constructively with all nations.
