Nepalese army integration according to past agreements: Mukherjee

Kathmandu, Nov 26 (UNI) India today stated that the integration of Maoists army into the Nepal army must be done according to the past agreements.

''Army integration is the internal matter of Nepal and all the political parties need to work mutually,'' External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said on the completion of his three-day visit to Nepal.

He said the visit was successful, adding that discussions were held on the matter related to border issues and replacing the old treaties between the two neighbours with new ones.

''Our government is serious towards finding a proper solution to difficulties caused by damaged embankment of the Kosi River,'' he said, adding that India would extend all possible assistance to divert the river to its original path.
