New Delhi, Aug 7 - Nepal's Foreign Minister Sujata Koirala is set to arrive in the national capital for a four-day visit next week.

This is the first visit by Koirala after the new Nepal government took over about three months back. Her visit - from Aug 10 to Aug 13 - is likely to pave the way for the visit of Nepali Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal in the second half of this month.

According to a press release issued by the External Affairs Ministry, Koirala's visit will provide a 'useful opportunity for both sides to discuss issues of mutual interest and to further strengthen the friendly ties between the two countries'.
