KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli will visit India first after taking over. He lands in New Delhi on Friday. Officials and experts say New Delhi should expect a tougher stand from Mr. Oli, who is armed with a massive election mandate, winning his confidence vote with a 4/5th majority, and has taken new administrative powers in the past few weeks.
Expect a visit that sets the course for the future of ties between India and Nepal,” said an Indian official involved in the planning of Mr. Oli’s visit. “This won’t be about the nitty-gritty of agreements, but about putting the past behind us and presenting big ideas for moving ahead.”
