Earlier, his wife, who is in 60s, was taken to the United States and Singapore for medical treatment.

Last week, she had been admitted to Mediciti Hospital in Kathmandu following a complication in her health.

The visit comes amid a political crisis in Nepal after Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli, known for his pro-Beijing leanings, in a surprise move, recommended dissolving the 275-member House on December 20, amidst a tussle for power with former premier Prachanda.
