Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to discuss strengthening trade with his Nepalese counterpart, Pushpakamal Dahal ‘Prachanda,’ on Thursday. Boosting India-Nepal cooperation in energy, connectivity, and infrastructure is expected to be the main topic of discussion. The two prime ministers are expected to review the India-Nepal development partnership, which forms the core of the bilateral relationship, as well as further deepen the power sector cooperation. Nepal is important to India in the context of its overall strategic interests in the region and the leaders have often acknowledged the age-old Roti Beti relationship. The India-Nepal Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1950 forms the bedrock of the special relations between the two nations; Nepal relies heavily on India for the transportation of goods and services and its access to the sea is through India. The visit of Prime Minister Prachanda is expected to strengthen ties between the nations and increase mutually beneficial cooperation in various areas.
