Kathmandu, Jan. 29
The second tranche of
election-related assistance from India has been handed over to Nepal.
Charge d’affaires of
the Embassy of India in Nepal Dr. Rakesh Pandey handed over more than 250
vehicles to the Government of Nepal in a programme held at the Ministry of
Finance at the Singha Durbar in Kathmandu on Thursday.
These supplies are a
part of the assistance sought by the government in connection with preparations
for the upcoming elections in the country.
Speaking on the
occasion, Finance Minister Rameshore Prasad Khanal thanked the government and
people of India for the supplies and appreciated their significance in
preparations for the upcoming elections, according to the Embassy.
The first tranche of
such election-related assistance by the Government of India was handed over to
Nepal on January 20. More deliveries are expected to take place in batches in
the coming weeks.
“The ongoing cooperation and support from the Indian side is not only an apt
reflection of the multi-faceted and multi-sectoral development partnership that
exists between both countries, but also symbolises the deep mutual trust and
friendship between the people of Nepal and India,” read a statement issued by
the Embassy.
