In a symbolic gesture highlighting the close ties between India and Nepal, Nepal's Chief of Army Staff, General Ashok Raj Sigdel, laid a wreath at India’s National War Memorial in New Delhi. The ceremony, held with full military honours, took place as part of his ongoing visit to India.
General Sigdel’s visit is an important milestone in reinforcing the military and diplomatic relations between the two countries. During the wreath-laying ceremony, he paid respects to the brave soldiers who laid down their lives for the country’s defence. The National War Memorial, a tribute to the Indian armed forces, holds great significance in India’s military history.
The Nepalese Army Chief’s visit is seen as a positive step towards strengthening bilateral defence cooperation between the two nations. India and Nepal share deep cultural, historical, and strategic ties, and this gesture further reflects their mutual commitment to peace and security in the region.
General Sigdel is also expected to hold talks with Indian military officials and visit other defence establishments in the coming days to discuss areas of collaboration and shared interests.
