thebalanced.newsNepal's RSP Chief Rabi Lamichhane to Visit India Amid PM Shah's No Foreign Travel Plan
Rabi Lamichhane, chairman of Nepal's ruling Rastriya Swatantra Party, is scheduled for a two-day visit to New Delhi starting June 1, possibly including a meeting with BJP leaders. This visit is separate from Prime Minister Balendra Shah's plans, as Shah has no foreign trips planned during his first 100 days in office, focusing instead on implementing his government's agenda. Government spokesperson Sasmit Pokharel clarified that Lamichhane's visit is independent of the prime minister's activities.
