Kathmandu, Aug 18 (PTI) – On Monday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri handed over an array of resources to strengthen the defence cooperation between India and Nepal. These included vehicles, medical equipment, and military animals, which were presented to Nepal's Army Chief, Gen. Ashok Raj Sigdel. The gesture underscores the strong bilateral ties between the two nations' armies.
Misri, who arrived in Nepal on Sunday for a brief two-day official mission, facilitated this handover, emphasizing the continuing robust defence collaboration shared by both countries. In a statement, the Indian Embassy highlighted that this act is a testament to the enduring trust and partnership that have historically characterized the relations between India and Nepal.
The visit was at the invitation of Amrit Bahadur Rai, Misri's Nepalese counterpart, and included discussions with top leaders of the Himalayan nation. The talks aimed at fortifying bilateral ties across various sectors.
Notably, Misri's visit also included the delivery of an invitation on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his Nepalese counterpart, PM K P Sharma Oli. Modi has proposed a visit to India, tentatively scheduled for September 16 and 17. Misri is set to return to India from Kathmandu later today.
