Army contingent departs for Nepal for Surya Kiran exercise

A contingent of 334 personnel from the Indian Army departed for Nepal today to participate in the 18th edition of the Battalion Level Joint Military Exercise, Surya Kiran. Scheduled to take place in Saljhandi, Nepal, from 31st December to 13th January, 2025, this annual exercise is conducted alternately between India and Nepal.

Getting India-Nepal ties back on an even keel is perhaps the most urgent task for the Indian foreign policy establishment in the neighbourhood.
