Nepal to “facilitate” SAARC Summit in Pakistan
December 2, 2018 | 10:38 pm
Kathmandu / Dec 2: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli said that Nepal would facilitate the 19th SAARC Summit in Pakistan.
During a meeting with the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yousaf Raza Gillani, in Kathmandu, PM Oli said Nepal, as the current Chair of SAARC, would play a role to hold the coming SAARC Summit in Pakistan.
Although the 18th SAARC Summit decided to hold the next summit in Pakistan, a misunderstanding between India and Pakistan has delayed the proceedings.
According to PM’s Advisor on Foreign Affairs, Rajan Bhattarai, former Prime Minister of Pakistan said the Pakistani people and political parties were committed to SAARC and ready to host the summit. RSS
