Prime Minister Jigmi Y Thinley has arrived Nepal on Thursday following his three-day official trip.
Spokesperson of the Government of Nepal, Gangalal Tuladhar, welcomed and received at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) this afternoon, press advisor to Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal informed.
According to advisor Surya Thapa, PM Thinley is scheduled to call on Nepali President Dr Ram Baran Yadhav, his counterpart and the officials at the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) in Kathmandu.
According to media reports, he is also holding discussion on the Bhutanese refugee issue with the GoN.
However, PM Thinely did not speak to reporters at the TIA upon his arrival.
PM Thinely arrived in Nepal as chairperson of the SAARC completing his visits to other member countries including Maldives and Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the Bhutan Peoples’ Party (BPP) said PM Thinely has crucial role in forcefully expelling over 100,000 thousand citizens from Bhutan.
Issuing a press statement today, BBP President Balaram Paudyal also expressed that bilateral talk between Nepal and Bhutan would yield no result, saying repeated failures of fifteen rounds of talks were proved fruitless.
“India, which has been a silent observer of this issue, has a lead role in resolving the long standing refugee statemate,” said Paudyal in his statement.
