Nepal's Deputy Prime Minister Kamal Thapa on Saturday arrived in New Delhi for a two-day visit. This is his first visit to any foreign country after taking charge last week in the Cabinet of Prime Minister KP Oli. The new Nepal government was formed amid protests by the Madhesi community over the issue of adopting new Constitution which they said did not take care of their interests. Thapa is scheduled to hold talks with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and will also call on Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Kamal Thapa went to New Delhi on Saturday with a mission to get halted essential supplies resumed and mending bilateral ties with India that are at their lowest ebb following India’s displeasure with Nepal’s new constitution and subsequent disruption of cargo freights apparently due to agitation at border checkpoints. During a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Thapa said he had received an invitation from India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj for a three-day visit to India, beginning Saturday. He would return on Monday. “With this visit, I believe that the disruption in supply of essential goods would come to an end and bilateral relations would improve,” said Thapa. Admitting that some bitterness has crept in in bilateral relations due to the recent difficulties in supplies, Thapa said it was just a temporary phenomenon. “I hope our bilateral ties will reach new heights,” he said, adding, “I am enthusiastically waiting to meet EAM of India Sushma Swaraj.” “I will seek India’s support to end the disruptions at borders,” Thapa added.
