Skipped Boao Forum on Chinese advice, prime minister tells Parliament

The prime minister says the boundary row with India will be settled through diplomacy on the basis of facts and historical evidence.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has clarified that not participating in the Boao Forum for Asia in March-end in China was not Nepal’s decision. Responding to a question on Tuesday at the National Assembly, the prime minister said it was Chinese Ambassador Chen Song who had advised him not to participate in the forum owing to a difficult political situation in Kathmandu.
