"The new force will create stable institutions and establish credibility and the legitimacy through governance reforms. System of directly elected chief executive will be introduced through constitutional reform for political stability, a prerequisite for economic development," he told the representatives of the international community gathered at the Hotel Shangri-La, Kathmandu. "The new force will adopt inclusive and participatory democracy with strict adherence to the rule of law and discharge high sense of transparency to ensure good governance in the country."
Keeping into consideration of the ethnic, linguistic and regional diversity of the country, the new force will ensure proportional representation in the party and state organs for the three major clusters of nationalities, viz the Khas-Arya, the Tibeto-Burman or Indigenous Nationalities and the Madhesi-Tharus, he said.
"The new force will adopt the universally accepted principles of sovereign democratic values and will free itself from any kinds of political dogma. The mission will be socio-economic transformation of Nepal and Nepali people. Political vision of the new force will be democracy and socialism with dialectical and historical materialism as the core principle," he added.
On foreign relations, he said the new force will follow a pragmatic and dynamic foreign and neighborhood policy keeping into consideration the unique geo-strategic position, sandwiched between the two huge countries of India and China, by developing Nepal as a vibrant bridge between the two friendly neighbors.
