India, Nepal working out details of upcoming visit by PM Balen Shah to New Delhi

New Delhi, Nov 10 (UNI) India and Nepal are working out the details for an upcoming visit by Nepalese Prime Minister Balendra Shah to New Delhi, his first to India since taking over in March this year.
“We have extended an invitation to the Prime Minister of Nepal to visit India. The discussions between the two sides are continuing regarding the visit,” Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a briefing on Tuesday.
He said India and Nepal share an "expansive and special partnership", and during the visit of the Nepal PM all matters of mutual interest would be discussed.
“The entire range of bilateral relations that we have with Nepal will be discussed."
The remarks come days after the Kathmandu visit of Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on November 4-5 at the invitation of his Nepali counterpart, Amrit Bahadur Rai.
During the visit, Misri held delegation-level talks with Rai and separate meetings with Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal, Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle and other senior government officials.
He also called on PM Shah and conveyed an invitation from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The two sides discussed possible outcomes for the visit, including cooperation in trade, energy, hydropower, connectivity, development partnership and border management.
The visit is expected to take place in the second half of November.
According to reports, Nepal is seeking around $2 billion in Indian assistance for reconstruction and rehabilitation following the devastating August 26 floods in the Bhotekoshi-Rasuwa corridor.
The proposed assistance is expected to include concessional loans and grants.
