Nepal’s new Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has stated that he looks forward to working closely with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to strengthen the relations between the two neighbouring countries as well as the people-to-people contacts.
Recently, Prime Minister Modi immediately congratulated Deuba after he won a vote of confidence in the reinstated House of Representatives. He quoted- “Congratulations Prime Minister @DeubaSherbdr and best wishes for a successful tenure. I look forward to working with you to further enhance our unique partnership in all sectors, and strengthen our deep-rooted people-to-people ties.”
While responding to the Tweets, Nepal PM thanked and quoted- “Thank you very much, Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji, for your congratulatory note. I look forward to closely working with you to strengthen the relationship between our two countries and people.”
Deuba, who was appointed as the prime minister as per Article 76(5) of the Constitution on July 12 following the Supreme Court’s intervention, secured 165 votes in the 275-member House. A total of 136 votes were required for Deuba to win Parliament’s confidence. He had to seek a trust vote within one month after being appointed as prime minister. However, in a surprise move, he sought a vote of confidence on the first day of the reinstatement of the House.
Previously, Deuba has served as the prime minister on four occasions; first from 1995 to 1997, then from 2001 to 2002, again from 2004 to 2005, and from 2017 to 2018.
