Nepal – United Kingdom relations

United Kingdom

Nepalese-British relations are the foreign relations between the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Relations between the UK and Nepal have historically been friendly and there have been close links between the Royal Families. The UK is highly regarded in Nepal as a result of historical ties, development assistance and long-term support in the struggle for democratic peace in Nepal.

History[edit]

Nepal and the United Kingdom signed a treaty in 1923, the first to define the international status of Nepal as an independent and a sovereign nation. It superseded the Sugauli Treaty signed in 1816.

The Brigade of Gurkhas of the British Army has recruited soldiers from Nepal since the 19th century.[1][2]

The Embassy of Nepal marked 200 years of Nepal-UK ties in 2014.[3][4] The UK is Nepal's largest bilateral aid donor.[5][6][7]
