KATHMANDU, Dec 7: India has agreed to resume the non-lethal military aid to Nepal. The aid was in the pipeline before India imposed an embargo in February 2005 following the seizure of power by the then King Gyanendra.



"The date of the resumption of non-lethal military assistance is yet to be worked out," a highly placed source told myrepublica.com on Sunday. [break]



The agreement was reached during the meeting of the Nepal-India Consultative Group on Security Issues. The meeting concluded on Sunday.



Defense Bidya Bhandari, during her official visit to India in August, had asked India to resume the stalled assistance.



Meanwhile, a delegation of Chinese security officials led by Lt Gen Shu Yutai has proposed assistance for development along the Nepal-China border and security along the border, according to Subash Devkota, press advisor to Bhandari.
