In addition to the official engagements, he will also be visiting Ujjain and Indore as part of his visit. The visit continues the tradition of regular high-level exchanges between India and Nepal in furtherance of our ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy.

This visit underscores the importance given by both sides in adding further momentum to the bilateral partnership.
On the sidelines of the 74th United Nations General Assembly in New York in September 2019, Prachanda had a meeting with PM Modi. They discussed topics of shared interest, including regional connectivity and economic cooperation.
