Prachanda set for September visits to US, China

During this visit, he is scheduled to engage with senior Chinese officials….reports Asian Lite News

Nepal’s Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, known as “Prachanda,” is scheduled for visits to the US and China in late September.

Initially, he will attend the 78th General Assembly of the United Nations in the US during the third week of September, the Print reported.

Following his UN address, Prachanda is set to journey to China, the Print reports quoted sources closely connected to the prime minister.

Subsequently, Prachanda will undertake a trip to China, Nepal’s neighboring country to the north, as a member of the Himalayan nation’s delegation for the 19th Asian Games.

During this visit, he is scheduled to engage with senior Chinese officials.

Meanwhile, US Ambassador Dean Thompson met Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Thursday. One of the motives for the meeting was to confirm whether the prime minister would attend the upcoming 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to sources at the prime minister’s private secretariat, the Kathmandu Post reported.

According to the secretariat sources, the US envoy, besides other bilateral issues, inquired about the prime minister’s plans for the upcoming UN General Assembly in New York, as there might be a potential overlap with his scheduled visit to China. If the prime minister visits New York, he could meet top US leaders and officials on the sidelines.

This year’s United Nations General Assembly will take place from September 18 to 26, even as Dahal plans to head to China around the same time to attend the opening of the 19th Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou City as a guest. The Games will be held from September 23 to October 8, the Kathmandu Post reported.

Nepal’s permanent mission in New York had earlier registered the prime minister’s name on the speakers’ list and confirmed that he would address the morning session of the UNGA on September 22.
