Kathmandu, June 1: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been dismayed by the reports of the purported signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the respumption of the Indian Airlines flight to Kathmandu during the official visit of the Minister for Foreign Affairs Chakra Prasad Bastola to India from May 7 to 11 which appeared in some of the Indian newspapers today.

In a statement issued here today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has described the Indian newspaper reports as “baseless and malicious,” irrespective of its origin.
