Kathmandu has, in the past, talked about its friendly relations with Beijing.
India and Nepal on Saturday finalized four agreements to expand ties in sectors such as railways and energy. This is Prime Minister Deuba’s first bilateral foreign visit since assuming office for the fifth time in July last year.
PM Modi on Saturday said, “Friendly relations between India and Nepal are unparalleled… such friendship is not seen anywhere else in the world. Our joint approach on power cooperation will prove to be the blueprint for future cooperation.”
“Today the Prime Minister of Nepal has visited India as the country celebrates the New Year. He has played an important role in relations with India. Our relations date back to historical times. The basis of our partnership is between our peoples and the exchanges that take place between them. They give energy and strength to our relationships. India has been and always will be a firm partner in Nepal’s journey of peace, progress and development,” PM said.
“We also agreed on the subject of greater participation of Indian companies in Nepal’s hydropower development plans. It is heartening that Nepal is exporting its surplus power to India. It will make a good contribution to the economic progress of Nepal,” the prime minister said.
A 35-km cross-border train service- the Jaynagar-Kurtha section- that was inaugurated on Saturday – is a part of the 68.7km Jaynagar-Bijalpura-Bardidas rail link built under the central government’s grant assistance.
