BJP president Nitin Nabin met a delegation led by Lamichhane, chairman of the RSP, at the party headquarters and discussed ways to strengthen relations between the people of the two countries, and the need to use the youth to bolster democracy, people aware of the talks said. Later in the day, Lamichhane met external affairs minister S Jaishankar, who was accompanied by foreign secretary Vikram Misri. Jaishankar said on social media that he and Lamichhane discussed the bilateral development partnership and people-to-people ties.

The people cited above said the two sides discussed how engagement between the two parties can be enhanced through visits and discussions on issues of bilateral interest....
