Nepal's new PM inherits India-China-US balancing act
"Balendra Shah's rise to power as Nepal's youngest prime minister signifies a rejection of the traditional political elite, as his party won a decisive majority in the elections."
"The political upheaval in Nepal, characterized by a Gen Z-led uprising, has resulted in a significant shift in governance, with calls for anti-corruption measures and improved governance."
