A press statement issued by the committee states that the interaction program will hold discussions on the challenges relating to the merger of the two communist parties - CPN-UML and CPN (Maoist Center) - and the role of the new government in the promotion of socialism.
“The current debate of development in the country mainly deals with infrastructural development and it seems like the debate has overshadowed the debate of human-centric development. We want to raise the issue in the interaction program,” said CPN-UML Deputy General Secretary Ghanashyam Bhusal, who is the coordinator of the committee.
