Nepali Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli on Saturday congratulated former cricketer Imran Khan on his election as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan.
In his congratulatory message, Oli recalled friendly relations between Nepal and Pakistan while extending his wishes for successful tenure of Khan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
"In the message, Prime Minister (Oli) also expressed hope that bilateral relations will be further strengthened during the tenure of Khan," the statement added.
