Foreign Minister Harsh Vardhan Shringla is in Nepal for wide-ranging bilateral talks
Kathmandu:
Foreign Minister Harsh Vardhan Shringla arrived in Kathmandu today for an official two-day visit to Nepal where he will hold talks with his Nepalese counterpart and other top leaders and discuss broad areas of bilateral cooperation.
Shringla’s first visit to Nepal is at the invitation of Nepal’s foreign minister Bharat Raj Paudyal, amid tensions in bilateral relations following a bitter border dispute between the two countries.
This will be a continuation of the regular exchange of high-level visits between the two friendly neighbors, the Nepalese foreign ministry said in a statement this week.
The foreign minister is expected to hold a bilateral meeting with his Nepalese counterpart today, where broad areas of cooperation between Nepal and India will be discussed. He will also meet Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali, according to the Nepalese foreign ministry.
Mr. Shringla is also expected to appeal to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and President Bidya Devi Bhandari today. He will hold a conference in Kathmandu on Friday and inspect three schools built under Indian assistance in Gorkha, the epicenter of the 2015 earthquake, he said.
He will also hand over COVID-19 support to the government of Nepal before concluding his two-day visit on Friday.
