A joint statement issued at the end of the visit indicated India was ready to work with the Maoist-led government dominated by communists.
Prachanda himself said the government can’t pursue a communist agenda because of its coalition character.
India indicated it will work with the Maoist-led government even as some western countries have reservations.
USA hasn’t formally congratulated Prachanda on his assumption of office.
After visits to China and India, Prachanda is now scheduled to fly to New York to address the annual UN general assembly session.
