During the meeting, Minister Singh emphasized the importance of collaboration between Nepal and India in advancing modernization, food security, and economic development in the agriculture sector. Both sides expressed their commitment to enhancing bilateral agreements and joint working groups to address critical issues, leaving aside minor differences and focusing on significant areas of mutual concern.
Furthermore, the meeting between Prime Minister Oli and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bangkok has been seen as a positive step towards building a hopeful future between the two countries.
