Kathmandu, February 10
Indian Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra, who also served as the Indian ambassador to Nepal for two years, is coming to Kathmandu on a two-day official visit next week.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Kwatra is coming to Nepal coming Monday at the invitation of his Nepali counterpart Bharat Raj Paudyal.
Officials say Kwatra will call on President Bidya Devi Bhandari, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Foreign Minister Bimala Rai Paudyal besides holding bilateral talks with his counterpart.
“The foreign secretaries of Nepal and India will discuss various matters of bilateral cooperation such as connectivity, power trade, agriculture, health and culture, among others,” the statement reads.
