NEW YORK, Sept 27 (UNB): The new Prime Minister of Nepal, Pushpa Kumar Dahal Prachanda, Friday said Nepal has no problem with Bangladesh and the countries have friendship for a long time.
He said his government will carry out fresh talks with India on various issues, including economic issues and neighbours as well as transit.
The Nepalese Premier made the remarks during a bilateral meeting with Chief Adviser (CA) Fakhruddin Ahmed at the UN headquarters on the sidelines of the 63rd session of the United Nations General Assembly.
The CA said Nepal can take infrastructure advantage of Bangladesh including that of Mongla port and Bangla Bandh land port for direct communication between the two countries to enhance trade relation.
He also emphasized on increasing people-to-people contact between the two countries, which can be accelerated in many ways like introducing bus services.
Fakhruddin congratulated the new Nepalese Prime Minister and appreciated that the election in Nepal was good.
Prachanda also congratulated the CA for creating "good election environment in Bangladesh" under his dynamic leadership and mentioned about the announcement of election date.
Fakhruddin said good election atmosphere was being created not only for holding the next general election fairly but all the future elections also.
He invited the Nepalese Prime Minister to visit Bangladesh to which Pranchanda said he would definitely like to visit Bangladesh.
CA's press secretary Syed Fahim Munaim, who was present at the meeting, later briefed the newsmen.
