From November 2 to 4, President Pranab Mukherjee will be in Nepal on an official state visit.
While there, he is expected to meet with his Nepalese counterpart President Bidhya Devi Bhandari, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal as well as Vice President Nanda Kishor Pun. The agenda for discussion will include regional cooperation and implementation of existing agreements between the two countries, with a focus on expediting post-earthquake reconstruction projects being funded by India.
During his visit, the President will have the opportunity to interact with ex-servicemen of the Indian Army from the Gurkha community as well as members of the Madhesi community.
The visit is particularly significant because the last visit by an Indian President to Nepal was in 1998.
