ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will kick off his two-day visit to Nepal from today (Monday), as part of the nation’s “pro-active and outreach efforts” to engage with regional countries.
During the visit, the prime minister will convey felicitations to the Nepalese leadership on the successful conclusion of its democratic process, resulting in the formation of a new government, the Foreign Office said.
New Delhi hasn’t commented on the visit, according to Indian paper Live Mint, but people familiar with the development said the Indian government is keeping a wary eye on the visit.
Abbasi will congratulate the newly-elected Prime Minister of Nepal Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli and also call on Nepal President Bidya Devi Bhandari, it said.
Oli is seen as pro-China and reportedly he is not at the best terms with India.
