Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao to visit Nepal

New Delhi, Sep 10 (ANI): Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao will pay a two-day visit to Nepal next week.

Nirupama Rao will pay courtesy calls on Nepal President Ram Baran Yadav, Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal and Foreign Minister Sujata Koirala and hold official talks with her counterpart, Foreign Secretary Gyan Chandra Acharya, during her visit.

New Delhi is sending a high-level official to Nepal at a time when the constitution-drafting and peace process has been stalled due to differences among major political parties.

This is Nirupama Rao's first visit to Nepal after being appointed Foreign Secretary on July 31. She will also visit Pashupatinath temple and offer her prayers. (ANI)
