"Nepal will not allow any element to launch activities directed against its neighbours," Rajan Bhattarai, Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal’s Foreign Affairs Adviser, said.

His remarks came at a news briefing at the end of Pakistan Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir’s three-day visit here when he was asked about media reports on attempts by “foreign elements” to launch anti-India activities from Nepal.

Bhattarai said the Nepalese government will take strong measures if anybody is found involved “in activities directed against any other country from our soil.”
