Nepal Urges Diplomacy and Dialogue as US–Israel–Iran Conflict Deepens

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed deep concern over the rapidly evolving situation in the Middle East, urging all parties to exercise maximum restraint and pursue dialogue to prevent further escalation.

In a statement issued on Sunday, March 1, the ministry said Nepal was closely monitoring developments in the region. It called on the parties concerned to refrain from actions that could heighten tensions and stressed the need to ensure the protection of civilians.

“Nepal calls for resolving the differences through diplomacy and dialogue,” the statement read.

Emphasising that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected in line with international law and the Charter of the United Nations, the ministry said a rules-based international order must be upheld. It added that all states share the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security.
