Abstract

This article examines the history, evolution, and future perspectives of France-Nepal cooperation on the occasion of the 76th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries (1949-2025). The analysis situates this relationship within the broader context of Nepal's diplomacy, including its simultaneous commemoration of Nepal-China relations. The study highlights the political, cultural, scientific, economic, and humanitarian dimensions of Franco-Nepali collaboration. Emphasis is placed on the bilateral green roadmap adopted in 2023, the enduring scientific cooperation in seismology since 1978, and the cultural and educational role of the Alliance Française in Kathmandu. Drawing from diplomatic sources, trade statistics, and institutional reports, the paper argues that the France-Nepal partnership, while modest in economic terms, is exemplary in terms of mutual respect, scientific collaboration, and shared global priorities, notably in climate action and sustainable development.
