PM Nepal leaves for Denmark Monday

By Bhola B Rana

Kathmandu, 14 Dec.: Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal flies for Copenhagen later Monday amid a crisis at home where Maoists have threatened to launch a decisive anti-government and anti-president revolution to establish a communist government and state.
The premier is leading the Nepali delegation in Denmark to the UN-sponsored climate change summit where he will run shoulders with world leaders while high-lighting the adverse impact of climate change of the Himalayan environment with glacial melt and receding snowline.
The summit has become an embarrassment for the government.
Five ministers are attending the conference with their near and dear ones without any official work.
Besides the prime minister, only the environment minister should have been at the conference at government expense.
The visit is the premiers fourth after assuming office more than six months ago by ousting the Maoist-led government of Prachanda.
Nepal led the Nepali delegation to the Egypt summit of non-aligned nations; he visited India and addressed the UN annual general assembly session.
He will visit China after returning from Denmark.

:”The intention of the envoys [western ambassadors based in the capital] was not bad but they violated the international norms of diplomacy. They reached the remote district [Bardiya] without informing the local administration. When the administration saw the crew of diplomats in a village, it was shocked and surprised, As the administration tried to mobilize th security personnel, the OHCHR representative rejected the CDO request for security arrangement.”
