Putin Extends Rare Invitation to Nepal PM, Hints at Possible Visit to Kathmandu | APT

Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Nepal as an “old friend” and revealed that Moscow and Kathmandu hold “very similar, even identical” positions on major international issues. Meeting Nepalese Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Tianjin, Putin highlighted the historic ties since 1956 and stressed that Russia and Nepal “never had any problems” in diplomacy. In a rare gesture, Putin extended a personal invitation to the Nepalese leader to visit Moscow “at any convenient time,” while also promising to consider making a historic visit to Kathmandu himself — something no Russian head of state has done before. Both sides also emphasized the importance of education and cultural exchange, with Oli noting that many Nepali doctors were trained in Russia. #russia #nepal #putin #sco2025 #apt
