Prime Minister Prachanda to focus on long-term power trade during India visit

Kathmandu, May 30 (PTI) Ahead of his visit to India, Nepal Prime Minister Pushpakamal Dahal “Prachanda” has said that he would raise long-term power trade issue with New Delhi, hoping that this "bottleneck" will be sorted out and ensure that the Himalayan nation will be a favourable market for its surplus energy.

Prachanda, along with a high-level delegation, will travel to India on Wednesday on a four-day official visit for talks with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi and other leaders to further strengthen the age-old, multifaceted and cordial ties.

This will be the 68-year-old Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) leader's first bilateral visit abroad after assuming office in December 2022.
