<p>We are keen to commemorate the establishment of relations with Nepal, given the
historic and warm relationship between our two countries, and the outstanding service
rendered by the UK by the Gurkhas. The UK is working closely with the government of
Nepal on the plans for the bicentenary which will culminate in March 2016 to mark
the ratification of the Treaty of Segauli signed in March 1816. Plans are underway
to mark this important anniversary in both the UK and Nepal, including through a series
of cultural and educational events with senior level engagement. <br> <br>Separately,
the bicentenary of the commencement of Gurkha recruitment – ‘Gurkha 200’ - will be
marked between March and June 2015. More information can be found on: <a href="http://www.gurkha200.co.uk/"
