Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba is likely to visit India after the second round of local level election scheduled for June 28.

The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Krishna Bahadur Mahara have communicated this to Indian Ambassador Manjeev Singh Puri in a meeting held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday.

PM Deuba was already invited by Indian Prime Minister to visit India.

Soon after Deuba’s election as the new prime minister on June 7, Modi had called him to convey congratulations and had invited him to visit India on a convenient date.

Likewise, India’s Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj has also invited Foreign Minister Mahara to visit India. Mahara said that he would visit India very soon.

Mahara and Puri discussed about expanding and solidifying bilateral relations between the two nations, according to the Embassy of India in Kathmandu.
