FROM CITY HALL (KATMANDU): India will issue immediate medical Visa and 3-5yr Business Visa for the people of SAARC nations, Narendra Modi announces at SAARC Summit.

Modi made the disclosure while addressing the 18th SAARC summit on Wednesday morning (Nepalese local time).

He also said “if we can light up each other’s towns and villages, we can build a brighter tomorrow for our region.”

“India has huge trade surplus with SAARC countries. I believe that this is neither right nor sustainable”, the Indian PM added.

He also urged to make the procedures simple, facilities better, standards common and paper work less burdensome.
