Nepal PM seals deal to end political isolation KATHMANDU, Thursday (AFP) Nepal's premier sealed an agreement Wednesday to end his isolation by bringing three parties into his government with a common agenda to seek peace with Maoist rebels and fully restore democracy. Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba was reappointed June 2 by King Gyanendra, who had fired the elected leadership in 2002 and handpicked a government. But Deuba had been unable to bring parties into his new cabinet until he said on June 18 that the king had invested him with full powers. He signed an agreement Wednesday with the communists, who were the main opposition in the dissolved parliament, and with two smaller parties on a platform for a coalition government. |
