Indian Ambassador to Nepal Manjeev Singh Puri says his country is eager to work with the new government in Nepal.
Paying a courtesy call on Vice-President Nanda Bahadur Pun at the Vice-President’s Office, Bahadur Bhawan, today, the Ambassador said results of recent provincial and federal parliamentary elections were a decision of the sovereign people; therefore, the Indian government welcomed and respected it.

Meanwhile, Pun extended his greetings to India’s president, vice-president, prime minister, leaders and people on the occasion of 70th Indian Republic Day, to be celebrated on January 26.
