Observers cautiously optimistic over Indian army chief’s visit

While Navarne may be coming to be conferred the rank of honorary general of Nepal Army, the visit will pave the way for further thaw in relations, officials say.

Exactly one year after the boundary row erupted between Nepal and India, General Manoj Mukund Naravane, chief of the Indian Army, is arriving on a three-day official visit to Kathmandu on Wednesday.
