Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal was on Friday morning accorded a ceremonial welcome at the forecourts of the Rashtrapati Bhawan here in the presence of his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister Dahal, who is on a four-day visit to India, is scheduled to hold talks with President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Modi in the latter part of the day.
The visiting dignitary arrived in New Delhi on Thursday.
On his arrival, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj met the Nepalese Prime Minister.
External Affairs Ministry said that India will take this opportunity to understand the developmental priorities of the new Nepalese Prime Minister.
He will also visit Nathpa Jhakri Hydropower Project in Himachal Pradesh tomorrow.
