Kathmandu, May 8 -- The proposed visit of Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri to Kathmandu has been postponed, a top government official told the Post. He was scheduled to land in Kathmandu for a two-day visit on May 11.

New Delhi had decided to send its foreign secretary to engage with the new government and understand its priorities. The visit was expected to chart the future course of bilateral ties.

Citing Misri's other commitments, the Indian side informed Nepal that the trip had been postponed, at least for now, according to multiple government officials who did not want to be named because he is not authorised to speak with the media, adding that the southern neighbour had not given an exact reason for the postponement.
