Nepal Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli to visit India on Friday

Prime Minister of Nepal K P Sharma Oli is coming to New Delhi Friday on his first foreign visit after taking the top job. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will receive him at the airport and President R N Kovind will host a banquet for him —  a gesture that sets the visit apart.Oli will not travel out of Delhi. The mood is expected to be jovial and convivial in a forgive-and-forget atmosphere following “blockades” imposed on Nepal and anxiety over China-Nepal entente.
