PM Modi Praises Nepal’s Interim PM Karki, Sends National Day Wishes

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a phone conversation on Thursday with Nepal’s interim Prime Minister, Sushila Karki, during which he conveyed India’s support for restoring peace and stability in the neighbouring nation. He also offered condolences over the recent loss of lives during public demonstrations.

During the call, PM Modi congratulated Karki on her new role and conveyed his best wishes on behalf of the Indian government and people.

Expressing deep sorrow over the casualties in recent protests, Modi reaffirmed India’s willingness to collaborate closely with Nepal to enhance bilateral relations and assist Kathmandu in its journey toward peace, stability, and development.

In response, Prime Minister Karki thanked Modi for India’s consistent support and echoed the sentiment of strengthening the historically close ties between the two nations.

Modi also extended greetings to Nepal ahead of its upcoming National Day.

Both leaders agreed to maintain ongoing communication.

Karki assumed office as interim prime minister last week following the resignation of former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. His departure came in response to widespread demonstrations led by Gen Z activists, who voiced frustration over entrenched political corruption and stagnant leadership. The youth movement called for a neutral figure to guide Nepal through a transitional period.
