  "account": "On Monday, Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah met with India's envoy Naveen Srivastav, concluding his self-imposed ban on individual foreign envoy meetings. In Bangladesh, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman convened with Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi, following the latter's foreign ministry's reaction to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's press conference in India. The Bangladesh foreign ministry is reportedly urging Bangladesh to seek Hasina's extradition. Rahman also addressed extradition matters related to the murder of student leader Osman Hadi. The Bangladesh High Commission in India stated that the Shah-Trivedi meeting would strengthen ties and cooperation. Trivedi conveyed greetings from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and pledged cooperation with Bangladesh. Shah also met Chinese Ambassador Zhang Maoming separately and anticipates a meeting with the US Embassy's Charge d'Affaires Scott Urbom on Tuesday. Since becoming Prime Minister in March, Shah has avoided one-on-one meetings with Kathmandu-based ambassadors, opting for joint engagements instead.",
