KATHMANDU, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Nepali Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, on Sunday, said that he will not reach any 'controversial' agreements with the Indian side that jeopardize country's national interests.
Addressing a meeting of Foreign Affairs Committee of the Nepali Parliament, Prime Minister Dahal said "I assure the people there won't be signed any controversial agreements with India during my upcoming visit that jeopardize national interests and sovereignty of the country."
The prime minister's statement has come five days ahead of his four-day maiden visit to India, which begins on Thursday.
Responding to Parliamentarians during the meeting, Prime Minister Dahal said that he will talk to the Indian leadership to repair bilateral relationship which was at its lowest ebb for the past one year during the five-month border blockaded subsequently after Nepal promulgated the new Constitution.
"Nepal-India relation witnessed ups and downs for the past one year. Now time has come to repair relations and work to expand our ties to a great height," the prime minister added.
Dahal, a veteran communist leader and the chairman of CPN (Maoist Centre), maintained that no controversial deals would be signed between Nepal and India during his India visit.
On the occasion, parliamentarians urged the prime minister not to sign any controversial bilateral deals with the Indian side in his upcoming visit.
