External Affairs Minister of India, Pranab Mukherjee, is arriving in Kathmandu on November 24 for a three-day official visit.

"The visit is part of ongoing high-level bilateral interaction between the two countries. The visit will provide an opportunity to discuss the entire gamut of our extensive bilateral relationship with Nepal," a statement issued by the Indian Embassy said Monday.

This will be the first high-level political delegation of India to visit Nepal after the declaration of republic in Nepal.

Former Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam arrived in Kathmandu to attend an academic programme.

During the two-day stay here, Kalam will meet President Dr Ram Baran Yadav and few other political figures.
