7 Jan, Kathmandu: Vice-President Nanda Bahadur Pun has urged one and all not to make federalism a bone of contention.

Speaking at a programme organized by the Nepal Exporter’s Council on the occasion of the Export Day here on Friday, VP Pun stressed that it was inevitable to usher the country towards economic prosperity by holding all three levels of elections and implementing new constitution.

The dialogue among the political parties would resolve all internal issues, he said, appealing to the political parties to forge a consensus and head towards national agenda.

He also insisted that the public should also lay emphasis on economic development of the country, and called for collaboration between the government and the private sector for enabling investment-friendly environment.
