The "twists and turns" in the Indo-Nepal ties are temporary and can be resolved through dialogue and understanding, the Indian envoy here said today.
"Nepal-India relations are neither made by anyone nor can it be broken (by anyone) as they are age-old and natural," Indian Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae said.
"There are only temporary problems between two close neighbours which can be resolved through dialogue and understanding," he maintained.
He said it was "natural to have some twists and turns where there is such a close relation".
"However, we have to nurture this relation from time to time," the outgoing Ambassador said during a farewell reception organised by Mahamana Madanmohan Malaviya Foundation Nepal in Kathmandu in his honour.
Rae will retire from his four-decade-long diplomatic service after completing his tenure here at the end of February.
On the occasion, Vice President Nanda Bahadur Pun felicitated Rae.
India and Nepal witnessed unease in relationship due to Madhesis' agitation over Nepal's new Constitution. Nepal had accused India of interfering in its internal matter, a charge denied by New Delhi.
