Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Nepal counterpart, Sher Bahadur Deuba, will focus on connectivity and electricity projects during their bilateral talks on Monday, when Mr. Modi travels to Lumbini to attend Buddha Purnima celebrations.
Giving details of the Prime Minister’s visit to Nepal, which will span only a few hours, Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra said it was significant that the bilateral meeting was taking place just a month after Mr. Deuba visited India for talks on April 1-3.
“In their bilateral talks, the two Prime Ministers will pick up from where they left off in Delhi just last month and will build on their productive conversations in Delhi with a view to further expanding our shared understanding and cooperation in multiple areas, including in hydropower, development, partnership and connectivity,” Mr. Kwatra told mediapersons on Friday.
