LD KRISHNA 2 LAST

"We need support from India to strengthen our
security...We need training, equipment and police reforms. We
will cooperate with India," Koirala said.

She said there was a need for upgrading investigating
skills to check money laundering and for detection of fake
currency and arms smuggling and curbing insurgency.
Krishna, who is here on a three-day trip, earlier told
reporters on his arrival that his visit would further
strengthen bilateral relations and extend it to other areas
which have not been covered so far.
Noting that the two countries enjoyed civilisational
links and have cordial ties, he said "India's foreign policy
gives topmost priority to Nepal".
Krishna said that India's close relations with Nepal
encompass a broad spectrum including trade, commerce,
investment, water resources, security, power, education and
human resource development.
The two sides will sign four pacts, including one for
construction of a road in Terai, during Krishna's visit. The
road, that will provide better connectivity with India, will
be built at a cost of Rs 680 crore.
Another pact will be in the power sector and entails
electrification of five villages in Nepal.
MoUs will also be signed for establishment of a
Scientific and Research Centre in Nepal and providing Central
Depository System facility for Nepal Stock Exchange.
Koirala said Krishna's visit was "very important" as it
was after a long time that a high-level Indian leader had come
to Nepal. PTI AKK
