Nepal PM Prachanda to visit India on Sep 14

Kathmandu, Sep 5: The Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias 'Prachanda' will visit India on September 14. He will arrive in New Delhi on September 14 and return back home on September 18, said the Nepal Ambassador Durgesh Man Singh in New Delhi. This will be his first visit to India after becoming the first elected Prime Minister of the federal republic Nepal.

However, he has already broken a tradition by traveling north to China to attend the closing ceremony of Beijing Olympics on his first foreign visit as a PM. In Beijing, he met with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao during his three-day visit. Prachanda is also scheduled to attend the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York this month only.
