No agreement will be signed during PM's India visit

The government today decided not to go for any bilateral agreement during Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's visit to India.

A meeting of the Council of Ministers on Sunday took this decision. According to ministers, the decision was taken as the government would need to forge national consensus before going for any agreement with a foreign country.

PM Dahal is leaving for New Delhi at 5 this evening, leading a 44-member entourage comprised of foreign, communication, water resources and supplies ministers and senior government officials.

On the second day in Delhi, the PM will hold separate meetings with Indian President Pratibha Patil, Vice President Hamid Ansari, Indian premier Dr Man Mohan Singh, chief of the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Soniya Gandhi and L.K Advani, the leader of main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). nepalnews.com mk Sept 14 08
