During the bilateral meeting, Koirala assured Krishna
that her government will not allow the Nepalese territory to
be used for any activity directed against India and both sides
agreed to take necessary steps to preserve law and order
situation and peace and tranquility along the Indo-Nepal
border, the statement said.

"Nepalese side has assured that its territory will not
be used for activities hostile to India by controlling fake
Indian currency racket and drug smuggling and we will see how
Nepalese side will keep its assurances," Krishna told
reporters before his departure for New Delhi.
Asked about the delay in signing of the extradition
treaty between the two countries, Krishna said that India
would certainly like to move fast on it but is willing to wait
till the Nepalese side is ready.
India has been keen on this treaty, but lack of consensus
among political parties in Nepal is delaying its signing.
"There are some time delays ... India has enormous
patience," Krishna said.
He also said that India was willing to "re-visit" the
1950 Peace and Friendship treaty but the initiative should
come from Nepal as more clarity was required. "We are open to
it," he said.
Justifying the need for revising the 1950 treaty, he
said 60 years have past since it was signed. The world has
changed since then and the Cold War has ended, he added.
