Nepal Prime Minister Balen Shah has reportedly decided to skip foreign visits for the next year, including a planned India trip, as his government sharpens its focus on domestic governance and development. The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) says the administration wants to prioritize infrastructure, economic reforms, and local issues over international engagements. The decision marks a major shift in Nepal’s political approach and reflects Shah’s image as a leader focused on grassroots governance.
