The Hindu
It begins on January 10 with focus on business collaborations
Prime Minister of Nepal Sher Bahadur Deuba is likely to attend the annual Vibrant Gujarat Summit in January, diplomatic sources in Kathmandu have said. Mr. Deuba, who was re-elected to the presidency of the ruling Nepali Congress party on December 15, replaced Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli in last July.
The Ministry of External Affairs here had earlier announced that the summit to begin on January 10 will have a large segment where the focus will be on business and collaboration with foreign countries. Though the Russian Far East is expected to be in focus, Sri Lanka, Denmark and Canada will also be promoted during the event.
India had been observing the internal elections of the Nepali Congress. It was understood that high-level visits between the two sides would take place after Mr. Deuba consolidates his position as the Prime Minister and the president of his party.
