Balen Shah meets Vikram Misri in Kathmandu after earlier refusal
World
Nepal's Prime Minister Balen Shah just had a noteworthy meeting with India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri in Kathmandu.
This is a big change, since Shah had previously declined to meet him.
The two mainly talked about teaming up on water, energy, and trade: areas both countries care about.
Balen Shah seeks India's rebuilding support
This meeting sets things up for Shah's first official visit to India later this month.
Nepal also asked India for support with rebuilding after recent floods and for help with infrastructure projects.
Overall, it looks like Nepal is making moves to strengthen ties with its neighbor, especially after India quickly stepped in during Nepal's flood crisis earlier this year.
