Most of the countries in South Asia, which enjoy proximate ties with India, are forced to take sides and play a central role in the region. The United States is increasingly proactive in South Asia, particularly after its exit from Afghanistan, to contain an ascendant China. In 2018, Nepal\u2019s Foreign Affairs Minister visited the United States, which has offered Nepal the role of potential partner in its Indo-Pacific strategy.
