The summit has also approved three new documents. Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Narayan Khadka, on the behalf of the Government of Nepal, signed in the 'BIMSTEC Convention on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters' and the 'Affiliation Letter on Establishment of Technology Transfer Centre in Colombo', according to the Nepali Embassy in Sri Lanka.
