KATHMANDU: Foreign Secretary Sewa Lamsal and Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri held an official discussion in Kathmandu on Monday.
According to Amrit Bahadur Rai, the spokesperson for the foreign ministry, the discussions focused on revitalizing past agreements between the two countries and enhancing various programs being implemented with Indian assistance.
