Nepal President Bidya Devi Bhandari will visit India from April 17, her first official foreign trip after assuming office in 2015. The President’s Office has confirmed her India visit, though the detail
itinerary of the visit is yet to be made public.
Bhandari, Nepal’s first woman President, is visiting India at the invitation of her Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee. During the visit, she will meet President Mukherjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and other leaders, said Madan Kumar Bhattarai, Foreign Relations Adviser to Bhandari. Bhandari will also visit Varanasi, where she will attend a function at the Banaras Hindu University.
“Some agreements as a gesture of friendly relations between the two countries is likely to be sealed during her visit,” he said.
