In a bid to mend ties with Nepal that hit rock bottom since it published a map incorporating Nepali territory as part of Indian territory last November, New Delhi is sending its top diplomat to Kathmandu later this month.

Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is tight-lipped about the visit, sources familiar with the development said that Indian Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla is expected to visit Kathmandu on November 26-27.

“Both sides wish for exchange of such visits,” said Sewa Adhikari, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “We are not in a state to say anything about the visit right now.”
