Maldives seeks to strengthen ties with Nepal

Xinhua, August 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

Maldives President Abdulla Yameen on Monday said he looked forward to working with Nepal's new Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal to further strengthen relations between the two nations.

In a statement, Yameen congratulated Dahal on his election as Nepal's new prime minister and added that his election reflects the confidence the people of Nepal have in him as a leader.

"I am certain that under your able leadership, the people of Nepal would achieve greater success and prosperity," Yameen said.

Dahal was sworn in as Nepal's new prime minister last week after former Prime Minister Oli stepped down ahead of a no-confidence vote in parliament. Endit
