Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli held a brief meeting with Tanzanian Vice President Philip M Pangyo at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar.

The meeting took place while both leaders were en route to Seville, Spain, to attend the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, being held from June 30 to July 3.

According to the prime minister’s secretariat, the two leaders discussed bilateral ties and various dimensions of cooperation between Nepal and Tanzania.

Prime Minister Oli on Saturday departed for Spain, leading a 21-member delegation to the once-in-a-decade global summit that aims to mobilise sustainable finance for development, particularly for least developed countries.

He is expected to address the summit as chair of the Global Coordination Bureau of the Least Developed Countries and hold separate meetings with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and King Felipe VI. The delegation is scheduled to return to Nepal on July 4.
