Bilateral

New Delhi: Indo-Nepalese relations has limitless potential, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said after meeting Nepalese Foreign Minister Pradeep Kumar Gyawali in New Delhi who is accompanied by Nepalese Foreign Secretary Bharat Raj Paudyal, and was on a three-day visit to national capital.

On January 15, he held wide-ranging talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar covering the entire expanse of bilateral ties.

“Had a wonderful meeting with the Foreign Minister of Nepal, Shri @PradeepgyawaliK today. India’s relations with Nepal are not limited to governments in both the countries but it is driven by the people of the both the nations. India-Nepal relations offer limitless potential,” Singh tweeted.

Ties between India and Nepal came under severe strain after Nepal last year published a new political map that showed the three Indian territories — Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipulekh — as part of Nepal.

In their talks, Gyawali and Jaishankar carried out a comprehensive review of all aspects of the bilateral cooperation and explored ways to further strengthen ties in key areas of connectivity, trade and energy.
