Nepal Deputy Prime Minister C.P. Mainali has said that the government would seek clarification from the ambassadors of India and European Union regarding the joint statement issued by India and European Union.
Mainali, who was speaking at an interaction organised at the Reporters' Club today, claimed that the joint statement issued by the European Union and India over the reference to Nepal and its new Constitution was inappropriate.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will summon ambassadors of India and European Union within a couple of days and seek clarification from them," The Himalayan Times quoted Mainali as saying.
Mainali, who is also the Minister for Women and Children, further said that the statement was inappropriate and merely a design to foil peace.
