FOR CHINESE PM WEN VISIT
Kathmandu, 15 Dec. Leaders of various political parties including the ruling ones have demanded the clarification why Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao postponed his visit to Nepal, RSS reports.
At a programme organised at the Media Vision Nepal on Thursday, they said the Chinese Premier was invited without consulting the parties.

UCPN-Maoist standing committee member Dev Gurung said it was not judicious on the part of the Prime Minister to disclose the date of Chinese PM's visit before holding discussion between the two-country governments. The postponement has now raised serious question on the relations between the two countries.

Similarly, Nepali Congress central member Dr. Narayan Khadka said the Chinese premier's Nepal visit was postponed due to the weakness on government's part.

UML leader Bharat Mohan Adhikari said the sudden deferral of the Nepal visit of Chinese premier was inopportune which would render serious effects on the two-country relations in economic, political and diplomatic spheres.
