KATHMANDU, March 17: Minister for Foreign Affairs Pradip Gyawali has said that the year 2018 would be made the high-level visit year to solicit assistance for economic development. 


At an interaction programme in the capital city today, Minister Gyawali said that the high-level visit would be helpful to collect assistance for Nepal's development and prosperity. "Homework to invite Indian PM Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping would begin very soon. Chinese President Xi Jinping was invited in 2016 but his visit could not happen due to change in government. This time, high-level visits from the USA, the UK, Japan and other countries would be arranged," Minister Gyawali said.
