Nepal Prime Minister Balen Shah met Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri in Kathmandu on Thursday, marking a diplomatic shift months after reportedly refusing to meet him over protocol concerns. The earlier snub had led to Misri’s visit being postponed, with Nepalese media reporting that Shah was reluctant to meet foreign officials who were not his equivalent in rank. Their latest meeting came as Misri concluded a two-day visit to Nepal and ahead of Shah’s expected November 22 visit to India. It will be Shah’s first bilateral trip since taking office in March. The turnaround signals a pragmatic approach as Nepal prepares to engage its largest trading partner. (PC: India Today)
