Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai on Wednesday expressed confidence that his four-day maiden visit to India will pave the way for “warmer relations” between India and Nepal.
Bhattarai said he will focus on two major areas during the high-level talks in Delhi -political and security related issues between the two countries and economic cooperation and development.
“My focus will be to foster partnership with India,” he said.
“The new paradigm of Indo-Nepal relations will be to foster development partnership between the two countries.”
On bilateral disputes, the Prime Minister said that authorities from both sides should sit down and work out a mutually agreeable formula.
“As this is basically a goodwill visit, there is no fixed agenda and there will be free and frank exchange of opinions on the entire gamut of Nepal-India relations,” he pointed out.
When asked what he expects from policymakers in New Delhi during his visit, Bhattarai said, “I am confident that government and people of India will extend their cooperation for peace and democracy in Nepal.”
Bhattarai said that a draft Constitution will be ready by the end of November.
