China launches new plan to trouble India, Pakistan already a part of it, now wants this country to join hands, the country is..., not Afghanistan
New Delhi: China has recently invited Nepal to join the newly formed International Mediation Organization (IOMed). By including Nepal, China aims to expand its influence in South Asia. In recent years, China has established a deep presence in Pakistan. Advancing this, Beijing also wants a strong presence in other neighbouring countries. On one hand, this will increase China's diplomatic presence in South Asia; on the other hand, India could find itself isolated in the region. Thus, this new step by China could raise concerns for India. According to a report by Firstpost, IOMed was officially launched on Friday, May 30 in Hong Kong. Its aim is to enhance China's global influence through multilateral dialogue and conflict resolution mechanisms. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged Nepal's Foreign Minister Arju Rana Deuba to join IOMed as soon as possible. Deuba attended the IOMed launch ceremony, but Nepal has not yet given strong indications of joining the organization. Pakistan signs up for IOMed Pakistan, a special friend of China, has signed up for IOMed. Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar himself participated in the signing ceremony. China's state news agency Xinhua reported that during the launch programme of IOMed, 33 countries signed the convention, thereby becoming the founding members of this new entity. However, the list of member countries has not yet been made public. China invited Nepal to join IOMed and stated that both countries have traditionally been friendly neighbours. China has always given Nepal an important place in its neighbourhood diplomacy. Nepalese Foreign Minister Deuba congratulated China on the successful signing ceremony of IOMed and said that having the IOMed headquarters in Hong Kong is an ideal choice. Objective of IOMed Chinese Foreign Minister Wang has stated that through this new body, China, Pakistan, and other countries will provide voluntary and efficient new options for resolving disputes among all countries. This will create a new platform for maintaining peace, stability, fairness, and justice in the Global South. China's invitation to Nepal in this body is a significant step towards increasing its influence in South Asia. This organization aims to enhance China's global influence through multilateral dialogue and conflict resolution mechanisms. Nepal's participation will strengthen China's position in the region. If Nepal joins, it could be a major success for China's foreign policy. India's concerns will increase China's move could pose a challenge for India. There have already been concerns in India about China's growing influence in South Asia. The establishment of IOMed could strengthen China's position in the region even further. In this context, India will need to rethink its strategy to face this challenge on a new level.

Both sides showed willingness to deepen ties in areas of clean energy, biodiversity conservation and protecting our natural resources." Bilateral meetings on forests, wildlife, and energy Yadav also met with Ain Bahadur Shahi Thakuri, Nepal's minister for forest and environment. "We held very fruitful discussions on a range of issues including energy partnership between our two sides, working together as partners in the International Big Cat Alliance, and biodiversity conservation with a focus on tiger conservation," Yadav posted on X after the meeting, adding that they explored ways to cooperate on addressing forest fires in Nepal's mountainous regions. Strengthening Indo-Nepal climate collaboration Yadav and Foreign Minister Deuba discussed various aspects of the longstanding bilateral relationship. A statement from Deuba's office noted that the talks touched on broad areas of cooperation, especially concerning climate change. In a post on social media, Deuba wrote, "We took stock of the gamut of deep-rooted Nepal-India ties. Given India's role as a climate leader, we value HE Yadav's important perspective at the Sagarmatha Sambaad." The Nepalese foreign ministry noted that both sides recognised the shared challenges of climate change and agreed on the importance of collaboration to mitigate its impacts.

"The event was held with the understanding that preserving the Himalayas means preserving the Earth, the oceans, and humanity itself," said Oli. He drew attention to the increasing natural disasters affecting the region, saying, "Our homes are being washed away by landslides. Floods and droughts arrive unexpectedly, yet we remain strong. Our emissions are low, but our contributions to environmental conservation are significant. We hope that this dialogue becomes high in moral clarity, strong intellectual courage, and a firm shared vision to create a beautiful future."
