The upcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Nepal will be a significant development, Kathmandu's envoy Shankar Prasad Sharma said on Wednesday.
Speaking to The Hindu after presenting his credentials to President Ram Nath Kovind, Ambassador Sharma said Nepal had taken up all the bilateral issues during the visit by Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba to Delhi and Varanasi last month.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Lord Buddha's birth place Lumbini is currently being planned (by the Indian side). It is my aim to take this important bilateral relation to new heights," Mr. Sharma said.
