KATHMANDU, Aug 10: The decision number four made during the CPN (Maoist Centre) Standing Committee meeting, which took place from July 31 to August 3, addresses the goal of unifying the party with the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN), led by Netra Bikram Chand. While discussions about merging with the CPN, which previously split from the Maoist party, have been ongoing for quite some time, this is the first instance in which the Standing Committee has formally addressed the matter.
