Kathmandu, Nepal, March 14, 2023: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has shown his unwillingness to take part in the second Summit for Democracy to be hosted by the US President Joe Biden on March 29 and 30.
According to a source close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) Prime Minister Dahal would participate in the summit only through the virtual means but not physically. However, it is confirmed yet officially.
The US is going to host the Summit for Democracy in the support of the governments of Costa Rica, the Netherlands, Republic of Korea, and Republic of Zambia.
World leaders, governments’ head and head of states of different countries including Prime Minister Dahal have already been invited to take part in the summit. It is said that Prime Minister Dahal has already received the invitation from the US president, Biden.
As of the willing of the Prime Minister Dahal to take part in the summit only through the virtual means, the MoFA has already informed to the US government to this effect. The Prime Minister Dahal would address the summit virtually on March 30, claim the source.
In the first Summit held in December 2021, former Prime Minister and Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba had participated.
