Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale arrived in Kathmandu on Thursday for a two-day state visit, aimed at reviewing the progress made in the ongoing India-aided projects in Nepal.
Vijay Gokhale, who is on a three-day visit to US, is likely to discuss bilateral, regional and global issues of common interest with Mike Pompeo. His visit comes at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan remained escalated in the aftermath of the air strike.
India on Tuesday carried out air strikes at a massive Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) camp in Balakot in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, eliminating a “large number” of terrorists, including top commanders, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said.
Gokhale said, “PM Modi and President Xi also recognised the common threat posed by terrorism and both reiterated their strong condemnation of a resolute opposition to terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Both committed to cooperate further in counter-terrorism.”
