Addressing an interaction programme on a "new dimension to Nepal-India relations after the Prime Minister's India visit," organised by the Nepal-India Friendship Society here Friday, the Deputy Prime Minister said the deep friendship has been established between the two neighbours after the Prime Minister's state visit to India.
The visit turned fruitful in restoring the bilateral ties with clearing off bitterness, coldness and misunderstandings seen of late on the long friendship, he said, adding both countries have struck significant deals on hydropower, trade and transition sectors.
Also speaking on the occasion, former Minister and Nepali Congress leader Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat said Nepal-India relations sometimes experience with bitterness due to vested interests of ultra leftists and ultra rightists prevalent in the Nepali politics.
Leader Mahat said that the Nepali Congress was always effortful to maintain harmonious relations between two countries and added that NC has never made agreements with others against nationality.
Likewise, Indian Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae said that PM Oli's India visit was fruitful in political, economic and post-quake reconstruction spheres. Ambassador Rae stressed the need of implementing the agreements signed between the two countries in different times.
During the programme, lawmaker Rajan Bhattarai, economist Bishambhar Pyakurel, water resource expert Gyanendralal Pradhan, society's chairman Prem Laskari and others shed light on different aspects of Nepal-India relations. RSS
