Nepal's Minister for Home and Foreign Affairs Madhav Prasad Ghimire is leaving for New Delhi tomorrow on a three-day goodwill visit to boost bilateral ties and meet India's top leadership.
Ghimire, visiting India at the invitation of External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, will be accompanied by senior officials from home and foreign ministries.
This will be his first official visit to India since the formation of the interim council of ministers in March last year.
Ghimire told reporters here today his three-day visit is a continuation of bilateral relations between the two neighbours and meant for strengthening bilateral ties.
He is expected to call on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and meet his Indian counterpart Salman Khurshid and Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde during the visit.
"It is mainly a goodwill visit. Reciprocating Minister Khurshid's Nepal visit in July last year," he said.
Ghimire, a former bureaucrat, had played a key role in conducting the November 19 Constituent Assembly polls by providing intensified security despite boycott call by some fringe parties.
