Prachanda is likely to visit India on his first official foreign trip as Nepal’s prime minister, in a departure from his earlier practice when he visited Beijing ahead of New Delhi in 2008.

The Maoist chief had rubbed India the wrong way when he chose China as his first destination when he had taken over as the premier in 2008 and attended the Beijing Olympics that year.

Prachanda’s predecessor, KP Sharma Oli too visited India as his first official foreign destination.
