Nepali Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal Wednesday said the government is in favor of maintaining good relations with neighboring countries of India and China.

He said "Nepal has consistently emphasized its policy of not allowing our territory against the interest of any country."

"This is the only viable way for a country of such strategic location, irrespective of any government in power in Nepal," he said while addressing the inaugural session of a one-day conference on "Nepal's National Interest: Policies and Recommendations".

The conference was jointly organized in the capital Kathmandu by the Center for South Asian Studies and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

He clarified that Nepal has no desire to play any card or to use relationship with one against the other neighboring country.

The Prime Minister reiterated that the government has put the peace, the constitution drafting processes and social and economic transformation as the top tasks.
