KATHMANDU: Minister for Home Affairs Sudan Gurung left for New Delhi on Monday to attend a meeting of home ministers from the seven member states of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC).
The meeting is scheduled to take place in New Delhi on Tuesday.
Gurung departed for India from Tribhuvan International Airport on Monday afternoon, according to his secretariat.
This marks Gurung’s first foreign visit since he assumed office in March.
Home ministers from all seven BIMSTEC member states—Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand—are expected to attend the meeting.
At the 4th BIMSTEC Summit held in Kathmandu on August 30-31, 2018, the leaders of member states had expressed their determination to strengthen such cooperation and decided to hold meetings of home ministers while continuing meetings of national security chiefs.
This is the first meeting of BIMSTEC home ministers.
