<p>
According to an official statement, “the upcoming visit will provide an opportunity to the two sides to review this wide ranging cooperative partnership and to progress it further for the benefit of the two peoples.”</p>
<p>
This is Deuba’s second official overseas trip. In November, he travelled to Glasgow to participate in the UN climate conference.  </p>
<p>
“Though Deuba was to visit India much earlier, his India trip will be carefully watched as it will be undertaken within days of Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi’s trip to both countries,” an analyst told India Narrative earlier.</p>
