Modi returns home, says 'Thank You, Kathmandu'

November 27, 2014 23:16

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tonight returned home after a three-day visit to Nepal where he attended the SAARC summit and held bilateral talks with leaders of a host of neighboring countries.

"Thank you, Kathmandu," the Prime Minister said at the end of his visit.

Yesterday, Modi had delivered his maiden address at the SAARC Summit and announced a number of measures, including issuance of 3-5 years business visa and immediate medical visa for patients coming to India for treatment.

Modi held bilateral meetings with top leaders of all SAARC countries except Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

However, the frosty Indo-Pak ties briefly gave way to some warmth today when a smiling Modi and Sharif today shook hands and exchanged pleasantries at the concluding session of the Summit but India cautioned against reading too much into such "courtesies".
