Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads After expanding ties with Maldives and Sri Lanka over the past year, India is focusing on Nepal , with high-level visits being planned between the two months after being re-elected as Nepal's Prime Minister, KP Sharma Oli is planning to visit New Delhi in the next few months and plans to invite PM Narendra Modi to visit Kathmandu later this year, according to people familiar with the matter. In a recent interview to a local media platform, Oli downplayed differences with India and said the bilateral ties were free of any irritants. "Visiting India is not as big a deal as some make it to be, but it is important too. Most likely, I am visiting India... The visit happens after both sides arrange and prepare for it... some prime ministers used to apply for an India visit, but it should be done in an appropriate way. I have also invited Modi ji," he told the Dishanirdesh YouTube leading English media daily, The Kathmandu Post, reported on Monday that Oli could be on a two-day visit to India in mid-September. "The visit is confirmed. That much I can say at the moment," it said, quoting the foreign affairs ministry spokesperson Lok Bahadur Chettri. "The date will be announced later. The ministry has also started groundwork for the visit." Oli has met Modi twice since last year, in New York and is hosting home secretary-level talks with Nepal from Tuesday, after a gap of nine years, where issues such as extradition treaty, mutual legal assistance and intelligence sharing will be discussed. Issues related to border infrastructure, maintenance of boundary pillars and drug trafficking will also be discussed.

Nepal PM Oli to visit India in mid-September
Nepal Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli will pay an official visit to India towards mid-September, the Foreign Ministry said on Sunday (July 20, 2025). 'Preparations for the upcoming visit of the Prime Minister are under way. However, the date and the detailed schedules of the visit are yet to be finalised,' Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lok Bahadur Chhetri said. However, sources at the Prime Minister's Office said that Mr. Oli will embark on his official visit to the southern neighbour on September 16. The visit will be short this time, probably for two days, the sources added. Mr. Oli, the chairperson of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) — popular as the CPN-UML — had assumed the office of Prime Minister for the fourth time last July. He had chosen to visit China for his maiden foreign visit, breaking the tradition of visiting India as the first destination after assuming the post of Prime Minister. Mr. Oli visited China in December last year at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart Li Qiang. During his four-day visit, he addressed a function at Peking University in Beijing and met President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Qiang. Amid speculation by some sections of local media that he didn't receive any invitation from India for an official visit, indicating that his relations with New Delhi had soured, Mr. Oli on Thursday said he will be visiting India and that ground work is under way on both sides for the trip. He, however, did not specify any timeframe for the visit at that time.
