Nepalese Army chief General Rajendra Chettri will be conferred with the honorary rank of 'General of the Indian Army' by President Pranab Mukherjee tomorrow.
Chettri, who arrived here last night on a six-day official visit, met with his Indian counterpart Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag today. This is his first visit abroad after assuming the top army post in September last year.
The Nepalese Army chief's visit comes ahead of the proposed visit of Prime Minister K P Oli to India later this month.
Chettri has received field artillery and air defence artillery training in the early years of his service from India, Pakistan and China. He is a graduate of the Command and General Staff College, Ft Leavenworth, Kansas, US.
He is also a qualified Psychological Testing Officer from the Defence Institute of Psychological Research, New Delhi.
