We have an open border and we spoke about security as to how it mutually benefits for both the countries and can have a proper security system on the border side."

Asked about the threat of fake currency reportedly routed through Nepal, Koirala said she would have a separate meeting with Indian authorities on the issue.

"It is a concern of everybody. Nepal wants to control our side and India will look after their side.

We will have a mutual sit down meeting from both the sides and we will solve every problem what we have," she added.
