DPM and Foreign Minister Kamal Thapa and India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj hold talks in New Delhi on Friday.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Kamal Thapa and India’s Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj on Friday discussed Nepal’s political situation, protests by the Madhes-based parties and other bilateral issues.
DPM and Minister for Foreign Affairs Thapa arrived in New Delhi on Friday to participate in the convocation ceremony of the South Asia University to be held on Saturday.
This is Thapa’s fourth visit to the southern neighbour since he assumed office in October.
“Nothing specific was discussed regarding Madhes and [boundary] demarcation,” said Thapa, adding that the meeting dwelt on overall political situation [in Nepal].
Ties between Nepal and India that went off track after the promulgation of the constitution are yet to return to normalcy, but whatever improvement was seen following Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s visit to New Delhi in February faced a major setback in May again after the Oli government decided to cancel President Bhandari’s scheduled visit.
