KATHMANDU: Nepal’s new Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” will embark on a three-day official visit to India on September 15, official sources here said on Sunday. Sources confirmed the date for Prachanda’s India visit though it is yet to be officially announced. This will be Prachanda’s first foreign visit after assuming office earlier this month. Deputy prime minister and home minister Bimalendra Nidhi, who was on a visit to India as Prachanda’s special envoy, had discussed with Indian officials regarding the visit, according to Indian embassy sources here. The confirmation of the date comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended an invitation to Prachanda to visit India at the earliest when Nidhi called on him. Nidhi had briefed Modi about the latest developments in Nepal.
