Nepal PM visiting Japan


The Nepalese prime minister, Girija Prasad Koirala, is arriving shortly 1500 GMT in Tokyo on a five-day visit to Japan.

He's the first Nepalese prime minister to visit the country in forty years.

Japan is the largest aid donor to Nepal and Mr Koirala is expected to urge his Japanese counterpart, Keizo Obuchi, to continue investing in Nepal.
