In his meeting with the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Madhav Nepal thanked India for its support for the peace and democratic process. He hoped this support will continue, and assured Delhi that he is committed to India-Nepal friendship. Translation: thank you for helping me get this job, please support this government, look I came here first and not China. I will retain the balanced policy you want at present of keeping the Maoists engaged, but out of the power alignment.
