Kathmandu: India will continue to give security related assistance to Nepal and provide help to it in its fight against terror, visiting chief of Army Staff N C Vij has said.

"I am here to share my knowledge and experience with the Royal Nepalese Army," Vij, who is here on a four-day goodwill at the invitation of Nepalese Army chief general Pyar Jung Thapa said, adding "we will discuss whatever help is required by Nepalese Army".

"We have provided lots of military equipments to Nepal and we will provide whatever is required by them," Vij said in Kathmandu on April 22 night. India has provided logistics, vehicles, military hardware and two helicopters to Royal Nepal Army to help its anti-terror campaign.

"We are very much responsive to the Nepalese Army and we found they are also equally responsive and appreciating co-operation," Vij said.

On the ongoing peace process he said, "I am sure they will succeed, I wish all the luck for them."

Vij, on his first visit to a foreign country after he assumed office, will visit pension camps of Indian Army ex-servicemen in Pokhara in West Nepal and Dharan in East Nepal. He said he has "great regard for the 40,000 Gurkha soldiers, who are serving in Indian Army".

Vij will pay a visit to holy Pashupatinath temple and the Everest base camp near Namche Bazaar to greet the Indo-Nepal joint military expedition to Mt Everest and Lhotse.

He will call on King Gyanendra at the Narayanhiti Royal Palace on April 23, where he will be conferred title of the honorary general of the Royal Nepalese Army by the King.
