Strengthening Ties: India's Top Diplomat Visits Nepal

In a bid to bolster bilateral relations, India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri will touch down in Kathmandu on Sunday for a two-day official visit. A central topic of this diplomatic engagement will be connectivity and development cooperation, along with other shared concerns.

Misri is joining the visit at the invitation of his Nepalese counterpart Amrit Bahadur Rai and is slated to meet with high-profile dignitaries during his stay in the Himalayan region. These discussions are expected to further cement the Nepal-India partnership.

Capitalizing on the visit to pave the path for Nepal Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli's potential visit to New Delhi next month, the Foreign Secretary's trip underscores the consistent tradition of high-level exchanges between the two nations, in line with India's Neighbourhood First policy.
