The statement said four cabinet ministers of Nepal, besides Deuba’s wife, accompanied him.
Nadda briefed Deuba about the party structure and also about the welfare activities carried out by it during the COVID-19 pandemic and its coordination with families that had children stuck in Ukraine recently.
He also emphasised on enhanced party-to-party interactions at every level.
The BJP chief specifically proposed exchange of delegations of youth leaders and women leaders from both sides.
