External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday called on Nepalese Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and discussed a wide range of issues of mutual interest.
Swaraj, who arrived here on a two-day visit to attend the 15th ministerial meeting of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), met Deuba at his official residence in Baluwatar.

During the meeting, the duo discussed a wide range of issues of mutual interest, Republica newspaper quoted a source close to Deuba as saying.
"Both sides also reiterated their commitment to deepen the friendly relationship between the two countries," the source said.
