Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri will be on a two-day visit to Nepal beginning Sunday as part of the preparations for Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli’s planned trip to India next month.

The MEA said Misri is travelling to Nepal following an invitation from his Nepalese counterpart, Amrit Bahadur Rai. “India and Nepal share strong and friendly ties which have seen concrete progress in recent years in diverse areas of cooperation,” it said, announcing Misri’s August 17-18 visit.

The MEA said India attaches high priority to its relations with Nepal under its Neighbourhood First policy. “The foreign secretary’s upcoming visit continues the tradition of regular high-level exchanges between the two countries and will be an opportunity to further advance our bilateral ties,” it said. Oli is likely to visit India around September 16, according to sources.
