Visiting Prince Harry called on Nepal's President Bidya Devi Bhandari here on Sunday.

While welcoming the prince, Bhandari highlighted on enhancing bilateral cooperation between Britain and Nepal, officials said.

"I want to show all those people around the world who want to help that Nepal is a country open for business, so please come and visit again," said the prince.
