As a special envoy of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Nidhi met Modi for 35 minutes along with members of the Nepali delegation and held one-on-one talks with the Indian PM for 15 minutes.
Modi sought to know about Nepal’s political developments following the promulgation of the constitution on September 20, 2015.
India had merely ‘noted’ the constitution abd refrained from welcoming it, stating that the document fell short of addressing the concerns raised by a section of Nepali society.
Nidhi assured the Indian PM that implementation of the constitution by accommodating the aspirations of all people was the Nepal Government’s top priority, said a press release issued by the Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi.
Modi stated that relations between India and Nepal were not merely between two governments, but between the people of both countries. He further reiterated India’s commitment to strengthening these traditional bonds of friendship and kinship with the people of Nepal, according to a statement issued by the Indian Prime Minister’s Office.
