What happened:
On December 23, 2025, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) organised a study programme for 19 visiting officers of the Nepal Armed Police Force (APF). The programme focused on sharing best practices in internal security, protection of vital installations and capacity building. The visit is part of regular institutional exchanges between the two forces.
Why it matters to India:
The initiative reinforces India’s Neighbourhood First policy, strengthens defence and security cooperation with Nepal, and deepens people-to-people and institutional ties, contributing to regional stability and mutual trust between the two countries.
