Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 15 June 2006.


Nepal

Question
My Lords, in the light of the strong economic and historical ties between India and Nepal, what discussions have the Government had with the Government of India about restoring democracy in Nepal?
Answer

My Lords, that is an absolutely accurate observation. India has the greatest influence in Nepal, although of course other international interlocutors are involved as well. We have been in discussion with the Government of India. I believe that they share precisely the objective of seeing early elections, a solid constitutional platform and then a definition of the long-term role of the monarchy.
