Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a visit to Nepal on Sunday to help speed up negotiations on a power trade pact that is at the centre of a new effort to improve ties with a neighbour that serves as a buffer with China.

Since becoming Prime Minister in May, Modi has sought to shore up support among smaller countries in the region that have in recent years turned to China for quick implementation of energy and transport projects.

His will be the first bilateral visit to Nepal by an Indian Prime Minister in 17 years, though Indian leaders have routinely attended regional summits in Kathmandu.
