India was ready to assist Nepal with all kinds of security logistics as demanded at any time, the visiting Indian Army Chief General Vijay Kumar Singh has said, local media reported Thursday.

According to The Rising Nepal daily, Nepali Defence Minister Bidhya Devi Bhandari's press advisor Subash Devkota quoted Singh as saying, "India is ready to assist Nepal with military assistance including all logistics required by the Nepal Army (NA). "

"At first I think Nepal's proposal or demands must reach the Indian government seeking weapons for strengthening of NA's structure only then India could supply all required security related logistics at any time Nepal asks for," Singh told Bhandari in their meeting held here on Wednesday.

While talking to journalists, Singh said that as Nepal and India enjoyed long bilateral and cultural relationships with both the government of Nepal and Nepal Army, Indian Army was willing to send its army officers at Army Staff College for taking part in various levels of training and programs.

The Indian Army Chief arrived in Nepali capital Kathmandu on Monday for a three-day visit at a special invitation of the Chief of Army Staff Chhatra Man Singh Gurung.
