Bhandari attending Beijing’s GSI event after foreign ministry’s bungle

The President is well aware of Nepal’s non-alignment policy, adviser says.

Despite reservations from Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and Foreign Minister Narayan Khadka against her planned participation on Wednesday in a Global Security Initiative (GSI) meeting organised by the Chinese Communist Party, President Bidya Devi Bhandari is set to take part in it. Officials said she will participate virtually.
