Media Release
Sep. 14, 2008

Nepal's Maoist Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal "Prachanda" arrived here on his first official visit to India that could redefine friendly ties between the two neighbours.

Minister of State received him at the airport for Home Shakeel Ahmad and Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon.

The 54-year-old leader will hold talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday on a wide array of bilateral issues, including an expansion of economic ties and hydropower cooperation. Imparting a more contemporary character to bilateral ties is expected to top Prachanda's agenda when he holds talks with Manmohan Singh.

Prachanda, a former revolutionary who became the first prime minister of a republican Nepal nearly a month ago, will also meet President Pratibha Patil, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Leader of Opposition L.K. Advani of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
