Nepal's relations with India have shown signs of improvement after his maiden visit, Prime Minister K P Oli told lawmakers today.
He said that he also visited Nepal's northern neighbour China and the "unprecedentedly successful" trip helped fulfil Nepal's interests.
Oli visited India in February after Madhesi groups ended their six-month protest against the new Constitution.
Addressing the Parliament, Oli said his visit succeeded in normalising relations and ended border blockade with India which disrupted the supplies of petroleum products and cooking gas among other essentials to Nepal, leading to severe hardships to the people.
The relations have also started improving, Oli said.
Nepal's ties with India soured during the anti- Constitution stir. Nepal had accused India of disrupting the essential supplies by imposing unofficial blockade. India repeatedly refuted the claims.
Oli said his government's signing of trade and transit agreement with China is not directed against another neighbour and Nepal being a land-locked country should open up its border points to both the neighbours.
He also assured the people that the government is committed to end the current problem of load-shedding within two years.
