KATHMANDU, Oct 17: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Kamal Thapa on Saturday left for a three-day official visit to India at an invitation from Indian Minister for External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj.

Speaking to journalists at Tribhuvan International Airport, DPM Thapa expressed commitment to do his best in resolving the obstruction of essential supplies at the Nepal-India border.


The DPM further said he would hold bilateral talks with his Indian counterpart and other top Indian government officials on ending the unease seen at the border points. The visit will be entirely centered on ending the problem that has emerged between the two countries, he added.

"I am confident the visit will be fruitful as I am visiting with good will, love and wishes of 30 million Nepali people," Thapa said, adding that he had already held discussions on the preparations made for the visit with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and High Level Political Coordination Committee Chairman, Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

Separate consultations were also held with former Foreign Minister and Minister for Commerce and Supply for making the visit fruitful.

Responding to a question, DPM Thapa said discussion will also be held over the invitation extended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to PM Oli for an official visit to India.

The nine-member delegation headed by Thapa includes Commerce and Supply Secretary Aindra Prasad Upadhyay, Foreign Secretary Shanker Das Bairagi, Nepali Ambassador to India Deep Kumar Upadhyay and Joint Secretary at the Finance Ministry Laxman Aryal among others. RSS
