KATHMANDU – Ambassadors of different European nations to Nepal have stressed on political consensus among the political parties to end the ongoing political uncertainty in Nepal.


The ambassadors of the different countries of the European Union made such statement during a meeting with Chairman of the UCPN-Maoist Pushpa Kamal Dahal this morning.


During the meeting held at Dahal’s residence at Lazimpat in the capital, the ambassadors expressed concern on the political uncertainties created after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly (CA).


Talking to media persons after the meeting, Danish Ambassador to Nepal Alexander Spachis said that they urged the Maoist chairman to forge consensus and maintain unity among the major political parties to institutionalize achievements of the peace process.
