The ruling CPN-UML has said that the current government is cooperating with all friend countries including neighbours to seek their broader support for implementing the constitution and achieving the target of economic prosperity.

At the party’s Standing Committee meet on Saturday, the party refuted media reports claiming Prime Minister and party Chairman KP Sharma Oli stated that India, US, among other countries, were showing interests in changing the government in Nepal.

In a press statement on Sunday, party Secretary Pradip Gyawali said, “The news reports that PM Oli accused friend countries, including the US, of showing unnecessary concerns in change of government in Nepal are baseless and imaginary, and that they are inspired by premeditated attempt to damage Nepal’s relationships with these countries.”

“The international support acquired during relief and rehabilitation in the aftermath of the earthquakes, generosity shown in reconstruction and continued support in constitution implementation, has made Nepal hopeful that we can move ahead even in difficult times,” read the statement. We expect further help from our neighbour and friend countries in the current government’s endeavours, he added.
