Christina Rai Kathmandu, November 30
Simply ignoring the request from all quarters to remain the capital to solve the growing problem crisis, caretaker prime minister Madav Kumar Nepal on Tuesday left for Cambodia to attend the sixth International Conference for Asia Political Parties.
Political parties as well as speaker Subas Chandra Nembang, on Monday, requested the prime minister to cancel his trip to end the protracted deadlock by resuming the house session for the next election of a new Prime Minister, Nepal has been ignoring the call saying that consensus should first be forged among parties on unsettled issues.
The prime minister told reporters at the Tribhuvan International Airport, “my foreign visit will not obstruct the ongoing efforts to end the deadlock because there are other leaders available here to discuss on any issue. If my presence is needed I am ready to shorten my trip.”
Two other senior UML leaders have their own foreign trip. UML leader KP Sharma Oli for Cambodia and Chairman Jalanath Khanal is for South Africa to attend a meeting of labour parties. The absence of the prime minister and the other UML leaders arise a skeptic thought in people and other political parties that they are likely to delay negotiation among the parties.
During his visit, Nepal will hold meeting with his Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen and head of government from Asian countries. He will also address the first meeting of the World Eco- Safety Assembly on December 3 according to a press release. After the General Assembly meeting he will leave for Brussels to attend a meeting of least Developed Countries on Dec 4. On Dec 9 he will return Nepal.
