PM arrives in Kathmandu on two-day visit
KATHMANDU, (MILLAT ONLINE):Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi arrived here Monday on a two-day
official visit to felicitate the Nepalese leadership on successful
completion of democratic process, resulting in the formation of new
government.
Nepal’s Finance Minister Yuba Raj Khatiwada received the
Prime Minister on his arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport.
Prime Minister Abbasi is the first high-level dignitary to visit the
Himalayan country after Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli
assumed his office in February.
Besides meeting his Nepalese counterpart, the Prime Minister
will also call on President Bidya Devi Bhandari.
The land-locked Nepal shares its geographical borders with India
from three sides and with China’s Tibet Autonomous Region in the north.
“The visit is part of Pakistan’s pro-active and outreach efforts to
engage with regional countries,” the Foreign Office said.
