As Nepal prepared to vote on Saturday for a new map amidst the ongoing Kalapani territorial dispute, the Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday reiterated India's civilisational ties with Nepal. India deeply values its civilisation, cultural and friendly relations with Nepal. India's vibrant democratic traditions and practices are evident to the world," said Mr Srivastava in response to questions. In response, Mr Srivastava said, the Pakistan leader requires a "new set of advisers" and better information. It would also be better for them to remember that India has a stimulus package, which is as large as Pakistan's annual GDP," said Mr Srivastava.
