    Nepalese President Ram Baran Yadav Thursday conferred the honorary title of General of the Nepal Army upon visiting Indian Army Chief Gen. Dalbir Singh at a function organised at the President's Office.
     
    On behalf of the Nepal government, President Yadav, who is also the chief commander of the Nepal Army, conferred the title. 
     
    Nepal and India have a long tradition of exchanging the honorary title of each other's armies given the long and unique cultural, religious, historical and military ties and continuation of the same, said the army in a statement. 
     
    During the ceremony, President Yadav also handed over the insignia of Nepal Army General, sword and certificate to Gen. Dalbir Singh. 
     
    Earlier in the day, Gen Dalbir Singh visited the Kavre-based Nepal Army-run Birendra Peace Operations Training Centre where the Nepal Army imparts training to peacekeepers along with international peacekeepers. 
     
    In the evening, the Indian army chief also unveiled an annual publication, "Sewa Suman", brought out by the Nepalese Army Wives' Association. 
     
    Gen Dalbir Singh is in Nepal on a four-day official visit at the invitation of his counterpart, Gen. Guarav Sumsher Rana.
