During his Nepal visit, he has met with government officials, including the chief of the Royal Nepalese Army, chief election commissioner and the officials at the Peace Secretariat, said a UNIC statement. Kalin also visited Kapilvastu, Nepalgunj and Dailekh, where he met with chief district officers, members of the civil society and representatives of the security bodies. — HNS
