Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri returned to Delhi on Monday after formally inviting Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to visit India. Misri, who landed in Kathmandu on Sunday morning, handed Prime Minister Oli a formal invitation to visit India on behalf of Modi.

Misri came on a two-day visit to Nepal to prepare for Oli's visit to India.

With the arrival of Egypt in Kathmandu, Prime Minister Oli received a formal invitation to visit from his Indian counterpart Modi. In the statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nepal and India on Monday, it has been mentioned that Oli has been invited to visit by the Indian counterpart.

In a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is mentioned that the Foreign Secretary of India has handed over an invitation to Prime Minister Oli for an official visit to India on behalf of the Prime Minister of India. Likewise, the statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs of India also mentions the same issue. The date of the visit has not been disclosed.

Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lok Bahadur Chhetri, said that a favorable date will be decided by mutual agreement. He informed that the date will be announced when the time comes. It is customary for both parties to formally announce the date at the same time. Although the date of the visit has not been officially announced, it has been decided that Oli will go on a two-day visit to India on August 31 and October 1. Both parties have decided to visit on that date . This time Prime Minister Oli is preparing to go to Bodh Gaya instead of Delhi. Modi will also reach there. Bilateral talks between the two sides will also take place there. However, along with the date of the visit, the venue of the meeting between the two Prime Ministers has not been officially announced.

The Egyptian who came to Nepal at the invitation of Foreign Secretary Amrit Rai has also held bilateral talks at the secretary level as well as high political meetings. It is said that the secretary level meeting is mainly focused on how to make Oli's visit to India successful and successful. "The two secretaries held extensive discussions on various aspects of connectivity, energy cooperation, digital communication and development cooperation focusing on maximizing the potential achievements for the upcoming visit of the Prime Minister to India," the statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated. Similarly, in a statement issued by the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is said that "a detailed discussion has been held between the two secretaries about possible topics and opportunities for further cooperation that can be part of the agenda of Prime Minister Oli's upcoming visit to India".

During Prime Minister Oli's visit, it is seen that the old bilateral agendas including Pancheshwar multi-purpose project, air route and ease of trade will take place. Apart from that, there are preparations to sign the Mutual Legal Assistance Agreement (MLA). In the home secretary level meeting of the two countries held in Delhi last month, an agreement has been reached on the draft MLA. The Indian side has also insisted on signing a new draft of the extradition treaty. However, Nepal does not want to include it in the agenda this time saying that further discussions are necessary for the review of the old extradition treaty between the two countries. The new draft of the extradition treaty has already been signed by the secretaries of the two countries in 2061. India is insisting that it should be revised and made up-to-date and move forward.
