India has in its 2018 budgetary allocation for neighbouring countries hiked the amount for Nepal from Rs 375 crore to Rs 650 crore. This aid is meant for schemes and projects in Nepal.
Swaraj, who arrived in Kathmandu on Thursday on a two-day goodwill visit, called on President Bidya Devi Bhandari, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and held talks with CPN-Maoist Centre chairman Prachanda on Friday. During her interactions, she discussed ways to advance India’s multi-dimensional and historic ties with Nepal.
“We will extend full cooperation to Nepal in attaining political stability and development,” Swaraj said during her breakfast meeting with Prachanda.
The Maoist chief said Swaraj was curious to know about the political developments taking place in Nepal. “The talks were very positive and constructive. She also congratulated the Left Alliance for the election victory,” he said. Swaraj also met CPN-UML chairman K P Sharma Oli, who is likely to be the next Prime Minister.
