Talks soon to resume IA flights to Nepal

NEW DELHI, APRIL, 1. India and Nepal today agreed to hold another meeting soon to take a final decision on resumption of Indian Airlines flights to Kathmandu, which were suspended following the hijacking incident last December.

``Both delegations made good progress'' at the five- day discussions in the Nepalese Capital and ``agreed to resume talks soon at a mutually convenient venue,'' officials who participated in the meeting told PTI from Kathmandu.

``All issues relating to resumption of flights were discussed. However, there is need for some of the issues to be refined a little bit more,'' the officials said.

They said the agreed minutes were signed this afternoon by the leader of the three-member Indian team, Mr. Sunil Arora, who is a joint secretary in the Civil Aviation Ministry, and his Nepalese counterpart, Mr. Hari Bhakta Shrestha. The Indian team has since left for Delhi from Kathamandu.
