Nepal Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba’s scheduled visit to India next week has been cancelled following the Gujarat government’s decision to postpone the Vibrant Gujarat Summit due to a spike in the number of COVID cases in the state.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was to inaugurate the 10th edition of the Summit on January 10 in Gujarat.
The Prime Minister’s four-day visit to India starting from January 9 has been cancelled as the Gujarat Summit has been cancelled, said sources in the prime minister’s private secretariat.
Besides attending the summit, Deuba was also scheduled to meet Prime Minister Modi during the visit.
