DPM Dar, Nepali Foreign Minister Review Bilateral Relations in New York
The two officials met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and discussed ways to boost cooperation between Pakistan and Nepal.
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, met with Nepal's Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal on the sidelines of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday.
During the meeting, the two leaders reviewed the state of bilateral relations between Pakistan and Nepal and discussed ways to further strengthen cooperation between the two countries, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan.
The discussion is reported to have included measures aimed at boosting ties, though the full scope of the specific initiatives or agreements raised during the meeting was not detailed in the available report.
Meetings on the margins of the UN General Assembly are a routine diplomatic practice, allowing foreign ministers and senior officials from different countries to hold bilateral discussions without the need for separate standalone visits. Pakistan and Nepal maintain diplomatic relations spanning trade, cultural and regional cooperation channels.
Further details on any concrete outcomes from the Dar-Khanal meeting, including potential follow-up engagements between the two governments, were not immediately available.
