Modi, Oli talk 1st time after Nepal map row

PM Narendra Modi spoke to his Nepal counterpart K P Oli Saturday for the first time since the map controversy erupted earlier this year. Indian government sources described the conversation, at the behest of Oli, as essentially a courtesy call meant to convey his greetings to India on Independence Day, adding that cooperation on Covid-19 was the only issue discussed in detail during the talks that lasted for over 10 minutes.
