Nepal PM Balen Shah may visit India in Nov

Nepal's Prime Minister Balen Shah is set to make his first foreign visit to India in November, according to reports. The three-day trip is expected to take place during the last week of November, with an agenda reportedly covering major infrastructure projects and flood reconstruction efforts. Several projects funded by India may be inaugurated or launched during Shah's visit to the South Asian nation.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh's Prime Minister Tarique Rahman is considering a visit to India in November or early December. The two countries are currently in the process of renewing their 30-year water-sharing treaty for the Ganges river, which expired at the end of 2026. The Farakka Barrage in West Bengal serves as the primary point for managing water distribution between the two nations during the lean season from January to May.
