Bilateral Relations: Nepal committed to laying the foundation of stronger bilateral ties with India

Favoring a 'revolutionary change, Nepalese Prime Minister Prachanda on Tuesday said a 'new era has dawned' that should help further strengthen the bilateral ties.

He suggested that New Delhi should help in the development of Nepal which is placed in between two rising economies -- India and China.

The former Maoist leader said his country is committed to laying the foundation of stronger bilateral ties with India.

"I am going back to Nepal as a satisfied person. I will tell Nepali citizens back home that a new era has dawned," he said addressing a gathering at a lunch hosted by JD-U leader Sharad Yadav here in his honor.

"Time has come to effect a revolutionary change in bilateral ties," PTI quoted him as saying.
