Kathmandu [Nepal], Mar 05 (ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi , who will be reaching here on Monday for a two-day visit, will be accorded a guard of honour by the Nepali Army, a source told ANI.
"He (Pakistan Prime Minister) is set to land in Kathmandu at about 2 pm and he will be conferred with guard of honour. To receive the honour, he will head to Tundikhel (ground) where he also will be received by Prime Minister (KP Sharma) Oli," the army source said.
