Nepal PM Balen Shah's first foreign visit after taking office will be to India, the country's Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle said on Thursday. "I'm very hopeful that this will happen before the end of the year," he added. Rapper-turned-politician Shah came to power in Nepal after a landslide victory in March following countrywide protests by Gen Z over corruption.
