India@SAARC: What happened at Dhulikhel

November 27, 2014 15:13

From traditional Nepali thali to Gujrati Basundi with Jalebi, it was a lavish vegetarian spread of cuisines laid out for the SAARC leaders as they met in the cooler climes of exotic Dhulikhel resort for a retreat session.

The leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, arrived at the resort, around 30 kilometres from Kathmandu in the morning and held talks in informal settings with most leaders seen in a relaxed mood.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina could not join her counterparts at the retreat as she was unwell.

Foreign Ministers of SAARC countries, including External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Pakistan Prime Minister's Advisor on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz, were also present at the retreat.
