Shortly after his arrival on Friday evening, Deuba visited the BJP headquarters where he met party chief J.P. Nadda.
Later, Deuba also held talks with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, with the latter saying the Nepali leader’s visit “will further strengthen our close neighbourly ties”.
This is Deuba’s first foreign trip since assuming office in July last year.
He is being accompanied by his wife Arzu Rana Deuba, as well as a 50-member delegation comprising secretaries in the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Water Resources, Health and Population, Agriculture and Physical Planning.
