Many unresolved issues have been resolved through talks between the prime ministers of Both countries. Some projects have been completed under the Indian Credit Program for our road connectivity and infrastructure development. There are some things that are happening and we are talking about moving them forward. I have asked the High Commissioner about the progress of the project. The governments of the two countries are sincere in improving connectivity between towns.
