India has agreed to provide technical aid to Nepal for upgrading the central food laboratory and the laboratory of the Department of Standards and Meterology (DoSM).
This assistance will help to harmonize the standards and accreditation system between the two countries.The agreement to this effect came, during the two-day bilateral trade treaty review meeting held between the two countries here on Thursday.
According to Nepalnews, the visiting Indian team also promised to fulfill the treaty of Kathmandu to incorporate a clear provision on exempting excise, additional customs and other duties and charges on Nepali exports to India, under the bilateral trade treaty.
However, no decision has been taken on Nepal's plea on not imposing state taxes on its exports.
Both sides also agreed to adopt various mechanisms to control the unauthorized trade over the porous Indo-Nepal border.
Meanwhile, Nepal Water Resources Secretary Shanker Prasad Koirala has said that Nepal plans to take special initiative to import power from India to solve the ongoing power crisis in the country during a fourth high-level secretarial meeting of Nepal-India Joint Committee on Water Resource (JCWR) to be held from March 12 to 13 in New Delhi.
