Nepal, India skip contentious issues at Kathmandu talks

Nepal seeks new air routes. Indian foreign secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra inquires about Dahal’s India visit.

Nepal and India held a foreign secretary level meeting on Monday where they discussed a range of issues of mutual interests. But they avoided broaching contentious issues related to boundary and border, submission of the final report of the Eminent Persons’ Group on Nepal-India relations, and resolution of the standoff over the Agnipath scheme on recruitment of Nepalis in the Indian Army.
