India visit successful: Nepal PM

Nepal Prime Minister Prachanda on Sunday said his first overseas visit to India was successful and focused on creating an “environment of trust” and effectively implement bilateral projects for Nepal’s benefit.

After returning to Kathmandu following the four-day visit, Mr Prachanda said the visit helped the nations strengthen ties.

He said the visit was “successful” and has taken India-Nepal ties to “a new height”.

“The visit was more focused on creating an environment of trust with a good intention and effectively implementing the projects for Nepal’s benefits at the earliest as agreed earlier rather than raising many issues,” he told reporters at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport.

He, however, said closeness with India would not hamper Nepal’s relationship with China.
