Indian foreign minister Sushma Swaraj’s recent three-day visit to Nepal underlines the importance of developing good equations with our immediate neighbours; it is a reinforcement of Narendra Modi’s his invitation to SAARC heads of state for his swearing-in ceremony in New Delhi in May. Infact, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all now set to address Nepal’s parliament on August 4 during his two-day visit, and will become the first foreign leader to do so after democracy was restored in 1990.
