Patna: Pakistan High
Commissioner Salman Bashir met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar
at his official residence here Thursday to discuss his upcoming
visit to Pakistan, an official said.
An official in the Chief Minister's Office said that during their
an hour-long meeting, Bashir spoke about the upbeat mood in
Pakistan over Nitish Kumar's visit.
"The chief minister informed the high commissioner about
development and changes that have taken place in the state in the
last seven months," he said.
Nitish Kumar will head a high-level delegation of ministers and
officials to Pakistan Nov 9-16 at the invitation of some
provincial chief ministers there, officials said.
In August, a Pakistani delegation, during a visit to Bihar,
extended an invitation to Nitish Kumar on behalf of Pakistani
Punjab's Chief Minister Mohammad Shahwaz Sharif, brother of former
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, to visit the neighbouring
country.
Earlier, former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad had visited
Pakistan.
