PM Modi, Oli seek to rekindle Indo-Nepal ties |
India`s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Nepalese counterpart KP Sharma Oli on April 7 engaged in talks ranging from national defence, trade, agriculture and connectivity. The two leaders agreed to bolster the bilateral ties of the two countries. PM Modi assured that Indian assistance shall always be available for Nepal in its endeavour for growth and prosperity. He also asserted that ardent cooperation between the two countries will help in reinforcing a democratic ecosystem in politically volatile Nepal. His remarks were cordially reciprocated by PM Oli, who otherwise has a reputation of being wishful about developing a closer relationship with China. The Nepalese PM said that his government believes in building a `trust based` relationship between India and Nepal. Nepal PM said that the relations among neighbours are based on mutual respect. He has come to New Delhi with an aim to enhance relations to newer heights commensurate with the realities of the 21st century. PM Oli has earlier served as Nepal`s PM in his previous tenure 2015-16, a timespan that witnessed deterioration of Indo-Nepal ties. In a joint press statement, PM Modi said the Nepalese PM`s vision for a “prosperous Nepal and developed Nepal” was in sync with his vision of “sabka sath sabka vikas` (together with all, development for all).
