Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi began his two-day official visit to Nepal on Monday, the first foreign leader to visit the country after K P Oli took charge as its Prime Minister two weeks ago. He is leading a 32-member delegation.
He was welcomed at the Tribhuvan International Airport by Finance Minister Yuvaraj Khatiwada.
Abbasi is the first Pakistan prime minister to visit Nepal after an interval of three years.
Besides the promotion of Pakistan-Nepal bilateral ties, ways of invigorating South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) as an important regional organization will also be discussed during the visit.
Nepal is now the chair of the eight-member SAARC comprising Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, the Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Since then the SAARC Summit has not been held.
