NEW DELHI, Dec 31 - Prime Minister Narendra Modi today emphasised the importance of finding a durable solution based on consensus to Nepal�s political problems during a telephonic conversation with his Nepalese counterpart KP Oli.
Oli called up Modi and briefed him on the political developments in his country, days after the Nepalese Cabinet decided to amend the Constitution to address keys demands of Madhesis, largely of Indian-origin, from the country�s Terai region over proportional representation and constituency delimitation.
The �Prime Minister emphasised the importance of finding a durable solution to the political problems facing Nepal based on consensus or �sahmati�,� an External Affairs Ministry release in New Delhi said, adding that Oli �briefed him on the political developments in Nepal�.
According to the Nepalese Premier�s press advisor Pramod Dahal, during the 20-minute conversation, Modi invited Oli to visit India. Oli accepted the invitation and said he will pay an official visit to India soon after the situation is normalised, Dahal said.
Modi also extended his good wishes to the friendly people of Nepal for the New Year. � PTI
