Kathmandu, 3 June: Reflecting the restored ties between Nepal and India and the armies of the two countries, Nepal will confer the rank of honourary general of Nepal Army on the new Indian Army Chief Gen. V.K.Singh
The cabinet Wednesday cleared his Nepal visit and decided to confer on him the rank of honourary general of Nepal Army, an army source said.
Dates for the visit haven’t been finalized yet.
Ties were snapped during the royal regime.
Gen. Singh’s predecessor Gen. Deepak Kapoor was also similarly honoured when ties between Kathmandu and New Delhi restored.
Army Chief Gen Chatraman Singh Gurung has already been conferred the rank of honourary general of Indian army.
The exchange of such hour is a barometer for the state of relations between the two countries.
