“Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi ji and I have agreed, during Modi Ji’s successful state visit to Nepal, to address the outstanding tasks between the two countries in a time-bound manner,” Oli tweeted as he thanked Modi for his visit.

He also briefed Nepal’s Parliament on Modi’s visit.

The two countries have also agreed to expedite implementation of all pending projects of bilateral cooperation by Nepal’s Constitution Day in September, said Oli adding that multiple bilateral ministerial meetings will be held.

The two countries have also agreed to form a taskforce of technicians to explore possibilities of developing railways and waterways, he said.

The two leaders also explored methods to cut Nepal’s trade deficit with India while providing easy entry to Nepali products including ginger and cardamom, Oli said.
