Nepal will initially send 40-50MW electricity to Bangladesh but promised to supply more after a big power project being implemented in the Himalayan nation will be completed, newly appointed Nepalese Ambassador Ghanshyam Bhandari said on Tuesday.
Prime minister's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim told reporters that the diplomat made the comment when he met Sheikh Hasina at her official residence Ganobhaban in Dhaka on Tuesday.
