Modi discussed bilateral ties with Nepal President
Kathmandu: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday discussed bilateral ties with Nepali President Ram Baran Yadav.
Prime Minister Sushil Koirala and senior officials from India and Nepal were present at the meeting that lasted about 15 minutes.
The meeting will be followed by a vegetarian lunch, which will include some Gujarati dishes. The lunch was vegetarian since this is a Monday that falls in the traditional Sravan month.
Modi’s meeting with the president was preceded by a visit to the Pashupatinath temple where he prayed, announced Rs.25 crore for a dharamshala and offered 2,500 kg of sandalwood.
“Pashupatinath and Kashi Vishwanath (of Varanasi) are the same. I am full of emotions and I pray that the blessings of Pashupatinath, which unite Nepal and India, may continue for people of the two countries,” wrote Modi, who was elected to Parliament from Varanasi, the city known as the abode of Lord Shiva.
