22 March, Dang:

CPN (UML) leader Madhav Kumar Nepal has said the transit treaty sealed by Nepal and China has opened a door to the signing of a bilateral fuel trade deal.

Speaking at a press meet organised by Press Chautari Nepal Dang chapter Tuesday, leader Nepal said the country wants to move ahead by signing a fuel trade deal with the northern neighbour to reduce dependency on one country for fuel import.

The leader of the ruling party and former Prime Minister urged the Nepali Congress to join the government. “Let’s run the government together, end transition and help create atmosphere conducive for enforcing the constitution.”
