His contribution to fostering Indi-Nepal ties will always be remembered, she said in a statement. Koirala, who was credited with promulgating the country's new Constitution in September last year to complete a stalled peace process, died today after a bout of pneumonia.

79-year-old Koirala had served as Nepal's Prime Minister from February 2014 to October 2015 and was the president of Nepali Congress, the country's biggest political party.
